Annual Water Line Flushing Now in Progress . . . 

 

  • This is a 6-week process from 10pm to 8:30am, Sunday thru Thursday.
  • The actual flushing process causes very low water flow, but should return to normal when it's complete.
  • The flushing of the water lines can result with dirty-looking water, which can cause an accumulation of minerals in the lines. 
  • Resolution: 
  • Simply run the cold water in your bathtub for about 15 minutes to push those minerals through the lines. 
  • Please be sure that your water is clear before running hot water or any appliances.
