Water Main Flushing
Active
–
Flushing is a type of routine maintenance to improve water quality. Automatic flushing devices, or autoflushers, are connected to hydrants and programmed to flush water at certain times and flow rates in areas that need frequent flushing. These autoflushers allow for water quality to be improved daily at these locations, and are run at times that allow for minimal impact on residents or pedestrians.
An autoflusher is currently installed on a hydrant at SE 50th Ave & SE Gladstone St. It is programmed to flush for 6 hours every day between midnight and 6 am. If residents see the autoflusher running during a time outside of these hours, please contact the Water Quality Line at 503-823-7525.
