Fall Hydrant Flushing Scheduled
Important Announcement | Dora Utilities
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing safe, reliable, and high-quality water service, Dora Utilities will conduct routine hydrant flushing throughout our water service area.
Hydrant flushing is an important part of maintaining the water distribution system. The process helps remove naturally occurring sediment from water mains, maintains water quality, and allows our team to verify that hydrants and other system components are operating properly.
Schedule
Monday, October 27 – Friday, October 318:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Flushing will take place at various locations throughout the Dora Utilities water service area.
What Customers May Notice
During flushing, customers in nearby areas may temporarily experience lower-than-normal water pressure or slight discoloration of their water. These conditions are typically temporary and should clear shortly after flushing in the area is complete.
If you notice discoloration, allow your cold water to run for several minutes until it runs clear. Customers may also want to avoid washing light-colored clothing while flushing is taking place in their immediate area.
