NOTICE – On Tuesday, June 16th, 2026, the Public Works Department will be conducting regular routine water line flushing at the hydrants near the following locations:

9771 South Park Street                                       713 East Roosevelt

Hydrant flushing is an important maintenance activity that helps ensure proper operation of fire hydrants, maintains water quality, and removes sediment from the water distribution system.

What residents in these areas may notice:

  • Temporary discoloration of water (yellow or brown tint)
  • Reduced water pressure in some areas

This discoloration is harmless but may stain laundry. If you notice discolored water:

  • Run cold water from your tap until it clears
  • Avoid doing laundry until water returns to normal

Public Works crews will work efficiently to minimize inconvenience. We appreciate your patience as we perform this essential maintenance to protect public health and safety.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Public Works Department at 503-852-3815.
