Discolored Water:
June 25, 2020 - UPDATE:
The iron level in the water at the treatment plant is at normal & consistent levels. The discolored water is moving out of the system as a result of usage and spot flushing this week. The spot flushing is being done with the hydrants partially opened in several locations. This method takes longer to flush the same amount of water but is less disruptive to the residents upstream of the flush. A full flow flush creates higher velocities in the pipes and can cause water quality issues in area that have already been flushed clear. On June 22 we flushed the South side of Mill Creek. On June 23 & 24 the North side of Mill Creek was flushed. We continue to spot flush and check the water quality throughout the neighborhood and respond to any calls from residents still experiencing discolored water. We are performing additional spot flushing at those locations if necessary. We recommend if you have a water softener in your home that you confirm it has salt and that you run a manual regeneration on it. The softener along with the hot water heater can still have discolored water in them after the mains are running clear.
