Original Post:
Water Quality Sheboygan Water Utility is aware of discolored water reports on the south side of Sheboygan from Mead to Washington Ave.
Distribution Techs are conducting water quality flushing to resolve the issue.
For flushing internal plumbing, please follow these suggested steps:
-Turn on cold water from a faucet closest to your water meter until the water clears up.
-If the water does not clear within 5-10 minutes, wait 30 minutes and try again.
-Do not use your hot water or a faucet that is connected to your home’s filter system. This may draw debris through the water heater or filter system.
-A knocking sound is common during flushing. This is caused by air in the water line which needs to be flushed out.
-If you note reduced water flow in a faucet, check the faucet aerator (screens) for debris and clean accordingly. If this does not restore flow, contact the Utility during normal business hours for further guidance.
