Along with this area, beginning approximately Sunday,
September 21st, the Akron Water Department will also be flushing fire hydrants
in the Copley, Montrose, and Bath areas.
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. 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.
