Public Notice - Water Line Flushing 8/30/21 through 9/10/21

In conjunction with the temporary change in drinking water disinfection, the City of Mascoutah will be conducting its annual distribution system flushing program.  The schedule for hydrant flushing is as follows:
 
Monday August 30th and Tuesday August 31st
south of Main Street and east of Railway Street
 
Wednesday September 1st thru Friday September 3rd
south of Main Street and west of Railway Street
 
Tuesday September 7th and Wednesday September 8th
north of Main Street and east of Railway Street
 
Thursday September 9th and Friday September 10th

The flushing program consists of flowing water out of selected fire hydrants in order to improve water delivery and increase chlorine residuals in the water.
 
Discoloration in the water will be temporary.  While the water is safe to consume, residents may want to run the faucets until the discoloration disappears.  In addition, residents may want to hold off on laundry while the discoloration is present.
 
Please contact City Hall at (618) 566-2964 with any questions or concerns.
