Spring water flushing begins

Bryan Municipal Water Department is beginning its spring water main flushing program this week. The water crew will flush the larger transmission mains first. Then they’ll flush the smaller distribution lines on the side streets. The lines take about 10 minutes each, then are inspected for leaks and to make sure they’re working properly, according to the superintendent. Some city water customers may have rusty or discolored water. The superintendent says during this time. In most cases, the condition is temporary, and water quality will return to normal as flushing in that section of the city is completed. They recommend flush their service lines by running water in the bathtub. It’s ok to drink but may stain light colored clothing if clothes are washed in it.
