Watermain Flushing Program

Sediment and mineral build-up in the watermain system needs to be periodically flushed out in order to maintain good water quality. This done by adjusting the valves in the water system and opening fire hydrants to allow large quantities of water to flow through the pipes at high velocities.

During the period the watermain in your block is flushed your water may become cloudy. Cloudy water is not a health concern and can be cleared by running your cold water taps for approximately 10-20 minutes after the crew has finished flushing.

Please note: Your water will not be shut off for the main cleaning program.
