Water customers may notice a change in the taste, odor or color of their tap water during this time. Learn more about this periodic practice among water suppliers by clicking below.  Please note that this process is different than the hydrant flushing process that also may take place in your neighborhood periodically. During hydrant flushing, your tap water may be cloudy or discolored as the process flushes sediments which may have settled in the distribution pipes out of the system. If this happens, just flush your tap until water runs clear.
