HYDRANT AND WATER MAIN FLUSHING
The Belfast Water District will be flushing
mains and hydrants and will continue this work over the summer months. This
work is necessary to ensure the hydrants' proper operation and to draw water
through the water mains at a faster than normal rate to remove any iron
sediment in the pipes.
You may experience fluctuations in pressure
and/or discolored water during the flushing operations. The condition is
temporary and does not pose a health hazard.
Run your cold-water tap until it clears.
During periods of discoloration, postpone washing clothes and limit your use
of hot water until the cold-water clears.
Thank you for your patience!
