NOTICE OF FLUSHING TO LOWER ZONE

We will begin routine system flushing in the Lower Zone of the Rutland Waterwork District (RWD) starting at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, May 26th, with work scheduled to continue through to Sunday, June 30th. 

This essential maintenance program is part of RWD's ongoing commitment to deliver safe, high-quality drinking water. Flushing helps to remove sediment, maintain optimal water flow, and reliability of the entire distribution network. 

What our residents need to know: 

• Start Date: Monday, May 26th 
• End Date: Sunday, June 30th 
• Time: Daily beginning at 8:00 a.m.
• Location: RWD Lower Zone area 

During this period, residents may notice temporary changes in water pressure and water discolouration. These effects are normal and typically short lived.  

Recommendations during flushing: 

• If discolouration occurs, run your taps with cold water for a few minutes or until clear.
• Avoid using laundry machines or dishwashers during active flushing hours if water appears discoloured.

We appreciate the community's understanding and cooperation as this important maintenance work is carried out to protect the long-term quality of the water supply. 

Thank you,
Rutland Waterworks District Staff
