Unidirectional flushing is a process where water is forced through the mains to dislodge small particles of rust and sediment. This sediment does not affect water quality but can cause water to become discolored. The water is safe to drink and discoloration often disappears within a short period of time.

           

Flushing will be conducted Monday through Friday. Signs will be posted indicating water flushing is occurring in your area. Please avoid using water if possible while the signs are displayed.  Please contact the Water Distribution office at 440-392-2975 with any questions.
