Water Main Flushing
Water main flushing cleans water distribution pipes and reservoirs of sediments that build up over time. Water main flushing provides the following system benefits:
- Improved water quality.
- Improved system hydraulic capacity.
- Improved system operation by identifying weak or problem areas.
- Improved/restored chlorine residual.
- Increased life of system components; including, pressure reducing valves, line valves, pumps, etc.
How does flushing affect me?
During the flushing process, you may experience low pressure and discoloured water. Any discolouration is temporary and is not a health hazard. If you experience discoloured water, please run the cold water tap in your bathtub or laundry tub to avoid clogging screens in faucets.
