As recommended by the American Water Works Association and the North Carolina Division of Health Service, twice each year, once in the spring and again once in the fall, the entire water distribution system including the storage reservoirs are systematically flushed-out. The purpose of this maintenance is to improve the water quality by open discharge of the lines and also to check operation of each fire hydrant. This work will be done during the off-peak night hours of bet ween 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. The Town water system will be divided into sections and each section will be flushed-out by the opening of fire hydrants. This process allows the pressure and surge of the water in the lines to flush-out iron corressives and alum percepitates. Town water customers may experience discoloration or sometimes referred to as “turbitity" from this flushing process. This discoloration will go away quickly and is not harmful in anyway since the water contains a high chlorine residual.
