August is fire hydrant flushing month in Ada.
Public works employees will handle the annual procedure and here’s what village water customers need to know:
Work will begin in the northeast and southeast sections of the village. The work will be completed in a pattern moving from the center toward the outside of the village, and then in a clockwise rotation Mondays through Fridays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. until all hydrants are flushed.
“During this process there may be a slight discoloration of the water caused by sediment or rust being flushed from the water mains,” said Jamie Hall, village administrator. “Households experiencing this should not be alarmed.”
He added: “Your water will clear up once it is run for a short time. Should you experience rusty colored water, we suggest you run the cold water from the faucet nearest to the water meter to flush the service.
The attachment below includes the entire flushing notice.
