Fall Flushing Schedule

General Customer Information

The Spring and Fall Fire Hydrant Flushing program is a part of regular Authority operations and maintenance. The purpose is two-fold; flush the water mains and to check fire hydrant operation.

Discolored water is sometimes a side effect of this ongoing maintenance program. We strongly suggest that all customers check their water and the flushing schedule posted in your local newspaper, before laundering or using large quantities of water during this time.

If you experience discolored water or stained laundry, DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE WATER. Keep the laundry items damp until the water clears. Then use non-chlorine bleach to relaunder. DO NOT USE CHLORINE BLEACH. Soak the items for a few hours and relaunder with your regular detergent and the non-chlorine bleach.

The next page shows a proposed schedule of the municipalities that the service crews will be working in for the next five months. More specific information is available by calling Customer Service at 412-931-3500 or 412-364-1257. Thank you for your cooperation.
