Is Your Water Rusty and Why Is That Street Blocked

The will be flushing hydrants for the next three weeks meaning your water might be rusty or turned off for a bit and a few roads will be partially blocked while they work.

Drive carefully when you see a crew, streets might be flooded. And check the tap and look for discolored water before you take a drink, wash your dishes or do your laundry, just in case.

If you do see rusty water turn on all the cold taps until the water runs clear.

If you didn't read this in time and something is stained call 515-239-5550.

Flushing began Monday in the central part of the city. Check the City listed here, for more information.
