Why do you flush the water system?  We flush the system to
improve the quality of water to our customers by removal of
sediment, which accumulate in the water mains over time.   The
County website indicates more than one day of flushing, should I
refrain from using the water for each date listed?  That’s our
recommendation. You may experience discolored water on any of
the dates listed, but particularly when we are in your
neighborhood. If the system is stirred up when you use water in
your home, you could draw the discoloration into your internal
plumbing causing discoloration at your faucets, etc. Our
recommendations are: try not to use the water at all when we are
flushing in your street and limit activities that cause the
greatest discoloration concern such as doing laundry on all
dates that the system is flushed.   Can I drink the water during
the system flush?  Yes. The discoloration of the water is caused
by sediment and is not a health concern. Understandably, you may
not want to drink discolored wate
