The City of Alexandria Water Department announced that aggressive fire hydrant flushing will be performed in isolated water system areas. Fire hydrant flushing will assist in removal of sediment accumulation within the lines. Although flushing may lead to a temporary increase in water discoloration, water quality is not effected.  If anyone in an area scheduled for flushing experiences discoloration, allow 24 hours for water to clear. 

The current flushing schedule is as follows:

May 14 to May 16

• Pecan Bayou Subdivision
• Bocage Subdivision 

May 19 to May 23

• Charles Park Subdivision
