During the flushing process, customers may notice temporary water discoloration as sediment is stirred up in the water lines. As a precaution, residents are encouraged to avoid washing white or light-colored clothing on those dates to prevent possible staining.
If water becomes discolored, the Waterworks Department recommends running a cold water faucet until the water clears. This will help flush the household’s service lines and restore normal water clarity.
Hydrant flushing is a routine maintenance procedure that helps maintain water quality, ensures proper operation of fire hydrants, and verifies the reliability of the community’s water distribution system.
Residents with questions about the hydrant flushing schedule are encouraged to contact the Rossville Waterworks Department.
