Once per year OBWD will flush water mains throughout town. Flushing typically occurs during the spring.
Signage will be posted when the Water District Staff is flushing. Notices will be placed in local news papers and on the OBWD website homepage.
Customers will continue to have water service during flushing, however, flushing operations may activate low pressure alarms on automatic fire sprinkler systems and may cause water discoloration.
The water is safe, but we recommend that customers who have water discoloration run faucets until water runs clear. Also, hold off on doing laundry until the water runs clear.
Questions and concerns can be directed to us at the office, or by phone at 508-693-5527.
