Flushing in these areas will begin Sunday, April 25 at 10:00 PM and continue each day from 10:00PM – 6:00AM until Friday, April 23 at 6:00AM. This 5-day flushing rotation will continue for approximately two months as crews move throughout the distribution system. Further updates will be provided as flushing progresses to other areas. There will be no traffic impacts.
