What should I do when flushing is done?
If you used your tap water during flushing, water could appear cloudy or discolored. This is only a temporary effect and will clear out soon.
If you encounter discolored water, shut the tap off and wait several minutes, then run cold water thru the bath tub or outside faucet for a few minutes. DO NOT run hot water to prevent discolored water from going into your hot water tank. If the water is clear, it is okay to use. If not, wait a few more minutes and repeat the process.
Why is system flushing necessary?
System flushing enhances water quality by flushing sediment from water mains and verifies proper operation of flushing hydrants and valves.
Why is the water discolored?
When a flushing valve is opened, fine sediment particles are flushed out at high speeds, which could cause discolorization. Rest assured, there is no health hazard associated with discolored water.
