Since there is more than one activation point, multiple tests may be necessary to assure that the system is functioning properly. Re-programming and testing will…

The City is experiencing an increase in rusty water complaints throughout the City. We believe much of the problem is from the chlorination of the system as a result of positive bacteriological tests in the fall months. We are investigating the cause of the positive samples.

We are doing our best to combat the problem with hydrant flushing as we receive complaints. If we are required to…
