The cleaning program will begin at 7:15 a.m. each day and continue till 3:00 p.m. To ensure the clarity of the water in your home, you should refrain from water usage during the time when we are flushing in your area. However, if discolored water enters your home, avoid using it if possible until it clears. It may be necessary to wait until after the cleaning is done at 3:00 p.m. in your area before the water clears.
If discolored water enters your home it may be necessary to run the cold water at each faucet until it clears. This should be done one faucet at a time. Once the water has cleared in your cold water, your hot water should also be flushed in a similar manner. If the hot water runs discolored, it may also be necessary to flush out the sediment in your hot water tank. To flush the sediment out of the tank, open the drain valve on the bottom of the tank and run the water until it clears. If a load of wash is done during the period of discolored water, the load should be kept wet and rewash again after the water clears. Four ounces of cream of tartar should be added to help remove any discoloration of the clothing.
It normally takes a few hours for the water to clear once it becomes discolored. If water appears discolored for an extended period, please call the Water Division at (860) 647-3201. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.
