Water system flush to start next week

The Purdue University Water Works staff will flush the potable water system starting the week of Aug. 10 and continuing until completion. 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.

Be careful when driving on campus through or around spraying or standing water. Refrain from parking next to or across from any of the fire hydrants.

For questions or concerns regarding this project, contact Chris Marks, Purdue waterworks/wastewater supervisor, at 49-62705.
