City Of South Gate: Valve Maintenance At South Gate Park

Press release from the City of South Gate:

July 14, 2021

The Public Works Water Division will be working on Thursday, July 15th from 10 pm to 4 am to operate and flush the water system at South Gate Park.  The operations will help prepare for a need to replace a leaking 20” water valve located near the Park Auditorium.  Staff will proactively take the following steps to minimize the impacts to the community:

• Perform work at night when records indicate demand is at the lowest. 
• Systematically operate valves and flush to isolate the area of impact. 
• Notify customers door to door within the impacted area. 
• Send notifications via website, social media, and email. 

The area of operation is between Southern Ave to the north, Tweedy Blvd to south, Pinehurst Ave. to east and Hildreth Ave. to west, which is located within Zone 10.  The attached map shows the location highlighted within Zone 10  in more detail.

While all steps have been taken to reduce the chance of a customer experiencing a water discoloration episode, customers in the impacted area are strongly encouraged to not use water during these times to the extent possible.  Should you experience discolored water, we ask that you flush your own house pipes by running faucets for approximately 5 minutes or less.  This should dispel any such discolored water that by small chance got into your house or business water pipes.  Should you have continued water discoloration after flushing, please call our Public Works Department at 323-563-5790.
