This week, starting today, hydrants on the east side of Nevada will be flushed as part of our routine fall maintenance. Workers will start at 8th St/N Avenue and work to the east on hydrants located between the north and south tracks.
You may experience colored water during this maintenance work. Just run cold water until it clears. The water is still fine to drink, and IF you are caught washing clothes, and they become discolored, our water department makes available a solution that can be used on WHITES to remove the discoloration. That solution is given out FREE and can be picked up at the front office of City Hall during our normal open hours WHILE SUPPLY LASTS.
