City Annual Water System Flushing Will Occur in February and March

City Annual Water System Flushing Will Occur in February and March

 

The City of Stockton Municipal Utilities Department will conduct annual flushing of the City’s water systems, February 18, 2013 through mid-March.

Water distribution systems require regular flushing to remove sand and mineral deposits that accumulate in the pipelines over time.  During the course of flushing, customers may experience slight discoloration of water if a faucet is turned on during or shortly after the pipelines are flushed.  If this occurs, customers are asked to turn on a faucet outside the house, using the faucet that is closest to the water meter, for a few minutes until the water clears.
