Hydrants to be flushed Sunday
STEUBENVILLE - City crews will begin flushing hydrants in the West End Sunday.
Water Superintendent Jim Jenkins said the flushing will take place from 10 p.m. Sunday through 6 a.m. Monday. He said the work will be completed Thursday.
"Residents in these areas may experience water quality issues such as loss of water, low pressure, and water discoloration," Jenkins said. "If you experience any of these conditions, please call the Water Filtration Plant at (740) 283-6041."
He said residents should run through their faucets or wash tubs to clear any discoloration from their service lines.
"We ask that residents, if possible, (avoid) washing white clothes during the hours of flushing to reduce the risk of discoloring laundry," he said. "If you experience discolored water during laundry, please do not dry the clothes; leave wet and contact the filtration plant at (740) 283-6041 to obtain special laundry detergent that may remove discoloration. Water Discoloration only affects the appearance of the water; it does not cause a health or safety risk."
Jenkins said flushing hydrants is a very important activity, "(it) verifies proper operation of the hydrants and ensures adequate water flow will be available if the need for firefighting arises."
"Flushing also removes sediment that naturally accumulates in water lines. Removing these materials through flushing maintains the highest quality of water to our public.," he said, thanking residents "for their patience and understanding throughout this very important project as we work to improve our water system."
