Update: Flushing of hydrants has been completed for October 2025.
During the month of October, our Water Department workers flush water lines via fire hydrants. Because of line flushing, residents in the immediate vicinity of the work may experience temporary discoloration of their water or lower water pressure. The discoloration consists primarily of harmless silt and air. It does not affect the safety of the water.
If you experience discoloration after crews have flushed your neighborhood, clear the pipes in your home by running all faucets with cold water for a few minutes. If you have questions, please call the Water Department at 515-382-2074.
