Water system flushing to start this week
The Purdue University Waterworks will flush the potable water system starting this week (March 16) and continuing until completed. The process will take place each day from about 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
As a result of the flushing, the water may be discolored for a short period of time. However, this will not affect the water quality. To remove the discoloration of the water, simply open a faucet for a few moments until the water runs clear.
Motorists on campus should use caution when driving through or around spraying or standing water. They also should refrain from parking next to or across from any of the fire hydrants.
For questions or concerns regarding this project, please contact Dan Gemmecke at 496-2705.
