The process of "Flushing" allows us to test the fire hydrants to ensure that they work properly and to remove sediment buildup in the water mains which will enhance the performance of the distribution system and improve or maintain the clarity of your water delivered to your home.

During this process of flushing you may notice a temporary discoloration of your water supply, this is normal when the hydrants are being flushed and the sediment is being removed.
However to help avoid staining of your laundry, we recommend that you do not wash clothing during the periods of the flushing.

Prior to washing cloths, please check the Cold water for possible discoloration.
If discolored, let the cold water run for several minutes for clearing of the lines. If this condition persists after several attempts of running your water supply, please contact the Public Works Department at: (636) 586-2499 All Residential and Business customers will be notified as to the exact time and date when the flushing program begins.
