Muscatine Power and Water has released the following information regarding hydrant flushing for Tuesday, September 24, 2024:
(9/24/24), 8AM-4:30PM
: https://mpw.org/flushing
: Stewart Rd, Grandview Ave, Oregon and the “states” street areas in the southern most end of town.
Our semi-annual flushing process removes minerals and sediment that build up over time and also ensures that all fire hydrants are in good working order so there is adequate water flow available in the event of a fire emergency. Here’s some customer recommendations during flushing season:
1. Using water while we are flushing can draw sediment into your home’s pipes. So, if you see our trucks or crew near your home, please wait to use your water until they’ve moved on.
2. If you’re unsure if our crews are still in your area, run the cold water for a couple of minutes. If the water’s clear, then you’re good to go.
If you have already flushed your taps, and that did not clear the water, please call MPW at 263-2631 so we may further investigate.
