City to flush water mains May, June
The city of Brandon will begin flushing water mains May 23 until mid-June or until it has been completed.
Flushing hydrants is needed to ensure they are in property working condition for fire protection and to remove any mineral deposits that may have accumulated in the water mains.
Residents may experience a change in water flow patterns resulting from hydrant flushing, which may also stir up mineral deposits in home services.
Residents may also experience discolored water, pressure change and/or an increased chlorine odor. Residents are advised to exercise care in their laundry operations and to check the water for clarity before use.
Motorists should also stay clear of the streams of water coming from the hydrants.
