Port Townsend, WA (01/28/16) The City of Port Townsend Water Department will be
conducting water system flushing downtown and in the port area the evening of January
28, 2016.
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 but
harmless changes in the appearance of the water.
Customers may temporarily see brownish colored water, which can usually be eliminated
by running taps for a few minutes. If the water in the downtown or port area has not
cleared up by the morning of the 29th please call 379-5001.
