Hydrant Flushing
Notice |
| (04/18/08) - The City of Akron, Water
Distribution Division will be conducting a water main flushing program within the Akron,
Fairlawn, Hudson, Mogadore, Montrose, Coventry, and other water retail service areas to
help maintain the water quality and to increase and evaluate the amount of water available
for fire fighting purposes. The Water Department will be flowing hydrants from 10:00 p.m.
to 6:00 a.m. on Sunday through Thursday nights to reduce the inconvenience to the public. Beginning
on Wednesday, April 23, 2008, the Akron Water Department will be flushing hydrants in the
Fairlawn area.
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.
