More Water Main Flushing Info
All Alders,
I'm sending this message to inform you of the start of our 2007 flushing program. If you have any commnent or suggestions on the communciation plan outlined below, please feel free to contact me.
Our plan is to conduct unidirectional flushing operations througout the City's water system beginning next week and throughout the summer and Fall. Piloted last year, this method of cleaning the City's water pipes proved more effective than traditional methods. The purpose of this operation is to scour and clean sediment and mineral buildup in the pipes to ensure high quality water at customers' taps throughout the year.
When our crews are flushing water mains in your district, we will add you to our flushing schedule email listserv. Messages will be sent to the listserv two or three times a week with a list of the streets being flushed for several days following the the message.
Key information regarding the fluhsing program:

Flushing starts Sunday night, March 25th if weather allows.
One crew will work at night, Sunday through Thursday, beginning on the central Isthmus.
Four crews will work during the day, Monday through Friday, in other areas of the city.
The flushing program will continue throughout the year until the end of November.
Flushing can cause discolored water, low pressure, and sometimes complete loss of water service for a few hours.
We appreciate the public's patience as we conduct this critical cleaning process.
