VIRGINIA American Water will begin routine flushing its water distribution system in your area Monday, May 6th thru Friday, May 17th from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. to ensure that you continue to receive high-quality water service. Flushing also allows us to monitor and maintain fire hydrants. When crews are working in your area, you may notice reduced pressure or discolored water. If your water is discolored, wait until it runs clear before using. This should typically take only a few minutes.
