JAMESTOWN – The Jamestown Board of Public Utilities (BPU) will begin spring daytime water main flushing later this week, weather-permitting.
Pre-flushing in Falconer will start at 2 p.m. Friday, April 27, in the areas of Ralph, Valmeere, Mapleshade and Aldren. The complete Village of Falconer will be flushed from 9 p.m. Saturday, April 28, overnight into Sunday, April 29, until Falconer is completely flushed.
Flushing of the rest of the BPU Water Division system will take place from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, April 30-May 4; and Monday-Wednesday, May 7-9. The exception will be on Wednesday, May 2, when flushing will take place from 5:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. to accommodate downtown Jamestown restaurants and businesses.
Flushing can discolor water, especially when water line cleaning takes place in the customers’ immediate areas near their scheduled flushing days.
The BPU’s March and April newsletters contain a two-page color-coded map section showing which areas will be flushed on which days.
Customers with questions about flushing and their flushing dates may call the Flushing Hotline at 661-1688 or Communications at 661-1680.
