The City of Arkansas City is continuing its annual fire hydrant flushing program and will continue to flush Section 11 this week, which contains 27 fire hydrants east of First Street and north of Highland Drive, plus all of those in Goff Industrial Park. All flushing will be conducted between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. Water customers in this area might experience temporary discoloration or low water pressure during this fire hydrant flushing program. Most discoloration can be corrected by flushing a faucet for a few minutes, but if flushing does not correct the problem or if you continue to notice a pressure loss, call (620) 441-4480 (Office) or (620) 441-4492 (On Call Phone after 4 p.m.) The Environmental Services Department advises not to wash laundry if your water is discolored, which can permanently stain the items. If laundry becomes stained, please leave the items wet; call one of the numbers above, and a detergent to remove the stains will be delivered to your address.
