Workers with Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. l are currently flushing supply lines in areas of Village Water System in order to clear discoloration being experienced in water.
Customers are advised to run water from outdoor faucets or into bathtubs for approximately two minutes and check to see if the water is clear. If not, wait for an hour and run again. Hopefully, discoloration will be removed.
Water discoloration was a result of a water line splitting last weekend during repairs in Forest Hills. Some service areas had water flow direction reversed, causing normal sedimentation in the mains to be suspended. Efforts to correct the problems and prevent future difficulties are continuing.
