Water Line Flushing Begins Monday May 19

OMU's Water Department will begin flushing the water distribution system as part of the routine maintenance beginning on Monday May 19. Flushing will be conducted daily and should be complete in about a week.

Crews will begin flushing fire hydrants in the north eastern portion of Owensboro and work toward the western and southern areas of the city.

Customers in the areas being flushed may notice some discoloration of the water and should not be alarmed. However It may be necessary to let water run for a short time until it is clear.

If customers have additional questions, we invite them to call 926-3200.
