Start Flushing

Bryan Municipal Utilities wants people to flush the water systems at facilities that have been vacant during the state’s stay-at-home order. Officials say, as buildings that have had little to no water usage re-open, it is important that they flush water that has been stagnant in cold- and hot-water distribution lines and fixtures. Low water usage in buildings can lead to water quality deterioration that may be associated with public health risks…including bacterial growth and unsafe levels of metals…that’s according to the EPA.
