The flushing program will last approxi- mately 12 weeks. Flushing the water main is a normal preventive maintenance procedure to improve water quality, safety and test the system regarding fire-flows. This program is an im- portant part of the City of Florence’s ability to provide fire protection service and to ensure that all hydrants on the system are in good working con- dition. City of Florence Pub- lic Works personnel will be flushing the hydrants Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. The water is safe to use during this flushing period. Some areas may experience discolored or cloudy water during this time, but this will only be temporary. The tempo- rary discoloration of the water is an unavoidable effect from flushing the water lines and has no harmful health effects. If the discoloration lasts longer than a few hours or you have any questions, contact Florence Public Works at 541-997-4106 during normal weekday business hours. After hours, call 541- 997-3515. If your water looks dis- colored, let the cold water run for a few minutes to clear your water service line. It is also recom- mended that you do not do the laundry for about two hours to ensure that the water is clear. Hydrant flushing is a method to clean the water main pipe by using high water velocity to “flush- out” sediment and min- erals that may build up in the pipe system over time. The high-water veloc- ity is created by opening fire hydrants one at a time starting from the source and storage sites toward the far end of the main lines. In this way the whole water-main line gets cleaned systematically. The other benefit of this flushing is the testing of the fire hydrants to make sure they operate proper- ly. Customers are encour- aged to call the City of Florence Public Works Department office with any concerns and ques- tions at 541-997-4106.
