The Water Utility will conduct its semi-annual water main and hydrant flushing program from Monday, October 12 – Friday, October 23, 2026.

This routine maintenance is essential to:

• Test fire hydrants to ensure proper flow and pressure
• Confirm hydrants and valves are working correctly
• Improve water quality by clearing sediment from the water mains
  
  Important Notes for Residents:
• You may notice temporary discoloration in your water after flushing. If this occurs,
  run an outdoor spigot or a cold-water tap at the lowest level of your home for
  several minutes until the water clears. If needed, repeat the process after a short
  wait.
• To prevent staining, avoid washing white or light-colored laundry during
  flushing periods or until your water runs clear.
• For best results, consider waiting until flushing crews have moved out of your area
  before using water.
  
  If additional system repairs are required, flushing may extend into the following week.
  
  We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this important maintenance activity.
