Water System Flushing Program
The City of Port Townsend Water Department will be conducting its annual water system
flushing. It will begin November 1, 2016 and will continue through December 30, 2016.
This program, designed to flush away traces of minerals left behind by the water,may cause
harmless and temporary change in the appearance of the water. The lines need to be flushed
periodically to prevent build-up and to prevent problems to the system.
Changes in the water are generally in color- and the brownish water can be quickly eliminated by
running your tap a few minutes. It is a temporary condition and the water will quickly return to
normal.
