Aqua to continue flushing in Tiffin

TIFFIN — Aqua Ohio's Tiffin Division will conduct water main flushing in the Tiffin service area from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. today through Friday, May 4-8. Flushing is a routine part of Aqua's maintenance program, ensuring hydrants and valves are working properly and helping prevent sediment buildup. No interruptions in water service are expected, but customers may notice a drop in water pressure or temporary discoloration. "If possible, customers should refrain from doing laundry to avoid possible staining while the flushing is taking place near their home," said Jeff LaRue, communications consultant. If tap water is discolored, customers should allow it to run until clear — running several cold-water faucets simultaneously will speed up the process. A detailed flushing schedule follows: Today: Nelson Street, Miami Street from Frost Parkway to Nelson Street, Westwood Drive, Northwood Drive, Cottonwood Drive, Birchwood Drive, Westwood Court, Beechwood Drive, Oakwood Drive, Pinewood Drive, Teakwood Drive, Rosewood Drive, Ashwood Drive, Allen Street, Howard Street, Fostoria Street and Cherry Street from Allen Street to Nelson Street.
