The Huntingburg Water Department is flushing out fire hydrants.
This process will last from Tuesday, September 3rd through Friday, October 4th. Flushing times will typically be Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 3:30 pm at various locations around the city.
Flushing is the best way to improve water quality. It is also necessary for preventive maintenance to make sure the hydrants have proper waterline functions.
Water will be safe to drink, however, residents are urged to be attentive before when doing laundry. The Water Department advises residents to run cold water through their taps five to seven minutes to clear any discoloration.
If a resident skips this step, it may have adverse effects on their laundry.
The City of Huntingburg is not responsible for cleaning or the replacement of these items.
