The City of Rochester Water Department will be conducting the semi-annual unidirectional flushing of all the city owned water mains.
Beginning August 17, city contractor, M.E. Simpson & Company will be performing the unidirectional flushing of the city water main lines (process to clean the mains). The work will continue for 30 days, weather permitting.
Following the unidirectional flushing, M.E. Simpson & Company will immediately begin the Fire Hydrant Flow Testing and the Fire Hydrant Maintenance Program. This testing will take at least 3-5 weeks.
During these dates, you may experience cloudy or discolored water at any time. The water is safe to use and drink. Running it longer before use may help to clear it. It is recommended that you avoid washing white clothes while water is discolored. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but this does ensure the lines are properly maintained.
