On Monday, June 4, City of Powell River will begin a water-main flushing program in Townsite, lasting until Friday, June 29.
Water pipes will be flushed by opening fire hydrants throughout Townsite for about 30 minutes, between 8 am and 4 pm, Monday through Friday.
Homes on blocks affected each day may have discoloured water or see a drop in water pressure.
Residents in affected neighbourhoods are advised to limit or avoid using water during flushing times and should not use water or do laundry for about two hours after flushing. After two hours, the city suggests running a cold faucet for about five minutes to make sure the water is clear.
