Campus wide fire hydrant flushing for 2010 begins July 6

Starting on Tuesday July 6th and running approximately four weeks, or until completion, the fire hydrants on campus will undergo the annual flushing process.

Flushing will begin at 3:00 p.m. and run until 9:00 p.m. every weekday. The perimeter of the campus will be done early in the shift and the core later in the shift. We will notify residential areas two days before flushing. This will include North Village and Lincoln Apartments.

Users may notice a discoloration in the water due to the flushing. All one needs to do is run the water until it clears up.

If you have any questions or concerns about this project, please contact the Service Desk at 545-6401.
