City of Port Townsend Water System Flushing
3/17/17
The City of Port Townsend Water Department is conducting water system flushing in the
southwest area of town now through March 22 and planning to flush the downtown and port area
the evening of March 23.
Water distribution lines need to be flushed periodically to prevent water quality problems.
Flushing traces of minerals and sediment from the pipelines may cause short term changes in the
appearance of the water, however the water is still safe to drink.
Brownish colored water can usually be eliminated by running taps for a few minutes. If the
water does not clear up, please call 379-5001.
