CBPU crews are flushing out hydrants throughout the city through Friday between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m..
Hydrant flushing started with Ward 1. Flushing will follow in Wards 4, 2, and 3.
Officials say this process ensures water quality and that the City’s water distribution systems are working properly.
