Putnam WPCA sets hydrant flushing schedule
PUTNAM — The Water Pollution Control Authority will conduct its hydrant flushing event starting May 9. It will continue for about a week.
During flushing events you will most likely experience periods of discolored water coming out of your taps. It is best that you try to limit water use while flushing is taking place in your area and flush your water line afterwards by running a cold-water faucet in your residence until the water clears. Your water is safe to drink — the discoloration is caused by iron build up in the water lines being flushed out. The flushing maintains water quality and prevents iron and manganese build up in the system.
