As discoloration to water is likely to appear, we would appreciate any and all radio
and television announcements and newspaper articles so as to alert the water users and the
traveling public. In particular, we urge the water users to check their cold water for
discoloration prior to drawing water for cooking and for use in automatic washers and
dishwashers. If discoloration is found, the water user is advised to discontinue use until
water clears. Customers can call our automated phone system to get a nightly update on
streets that are to be flushed by dialing 330-375-2554, selecting Frequently Asked
Questions and following the prompts. Water customers can also log on to www.ci.akron.oh.us and select News Releases to get the latest hydrant flushing
updates. Should the water user have any questions or need assistance, they are advised to
call 330-375-2420.
