Beginning today May 27, 2024, the Department of Public Works Water Division will be conducting water main flushing focusing on the Franklin Street and Sandborn Lane area. Week 5 street schedule posted below. This is the final week of water main flushing.
Flushing will be conducted mostly during the night however there could be some flushing taking place during the day time.

Although the water is safe to drink, residents may wish to check the water prior to washing any clothing.
We regret any inconvenience this may cause and we appreciate your cooperation in this effort as it will improve water quality and fire flow capabilities.
