City water flushing to affect east side of North Battleford
Residents of North Battleford’s east side should be prepared to store up their water.
Starting Monday, May 9, the city is flushing-out a portion of North Battleford’s water system to maintain the lines and ensure water quality. During the nighttime flushing people in the affected areas are advised not to use the water.
“When we do the water flushing we run water with high pressure through the lines, and the purpose is to maintain the water system,” Suzanne Abe, the city’s communication coordinator explained.
The high velocity water effectively scrubs the inside of the pipes. The water then carries out the built-up material.
