The City of Fond du Lac Water Utility says the bi-annual citywide water main flushing will take place this week to improve overall water quality. The flushing will begin on Monday in the northeast section of the city. Flushing will continue in the southeast neighborhood on Tuesday, the southwest area on Wednesday morning and finish in the northwest quadrant Wednesday afternoon. Flushing operations will take place each day between the hours of 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Flushing rids the water of mineral sediment by scouring and cleaning the interior walls of pipes. Residents may notice a temporary slight discoloration of water that poses no health risk. However, you are asked not do laundry or use automatic ice machines until the water runs clear from your tap.
