St. Anthony Water flushing pipes

This affects St. Anthony Water customers only. As a result of this activity, customers may experience a temporary discoloration of their water and/or a low water pressure condition. Color can range from a light yellow to an orange red. If this occurs, the customer should run a medium stream of cold water until the water clears. 

If a customer is experiencing this problem, the customer should not run hot water or wash clothes until the water clears up. The utility does not reimburse customers for water used to flush their service lines due to iron discoloration. Flushing is necessary in order to properly maintain the water distribution system and helps to improve water quality and maintain adequate disinfectant levels per regulatory requirements.
