LCO Public Works Announces Water Line Flushing

LCO Department of Public Works will be flushing the community water system during the week of April 28 to May 9 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This will cause a disturbance in the water system and may cause low pressure and/or discolored water. The purpose of the flushing program is to remove stagnant water, sediments and discoliored water from the mains and lines. If you notice brown or discolored water at your home, just turn on you lawn faucet until the clear water is restored. The public works department will be testing the water for backteria as we complete this flushing service. Although the water is safe to drink, residents may wish to draw water for drinking prior to the flushing of mains in their area and refrain from washing clothes until the water has cleared up.

Please contact us if your water has not cleared up after an hours of turning your lawn faucet on or if you have other concerns or questions. (715) 634-0345.
