City Utilities of Richland Center Water Department will conduct water main flushing weekdays through Friday, May 22.
Flushing will take place beginning at approximately 6:00 AM and continuing through mid-to-late afternoon. Flushing will not take place overnight this year. During flushing, the entire water system may experience temporary rusty or cloudy water and reduced water pressure, not just the zone being flushed that day.
The water remains safe to drink; however, it may discolor laundry. Storms or other unexpected circumstances may extend or postpone flushing times or dates.
You can find more information and a full water flushing schedule on the City of Richland Center website.
