JAMESTOWN – Jamestown Board of Public Utilities (BPU) will begin Water Main Flushing Monday in Jamestown from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. The flushing will run at those times from Monday-Friday, May 6-10; and Monday-Wednesday, May 13-15. The exception will be on Wednesday, May 8, 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. Customers may see discolored water at any time during flushing, even on days other than their scheduled flushing days.
The BPU’s March and April newsletters contained a two-page color-coded map section showing which areas will be flushed on which days. The maps also are posted at JamestownBPU.com.
On Saturday the BPU announced the cancellation of the Village of Falconer flushing during the past weekend due to high water tables. Later announcements will be made when the flushing of Falconer is rescheduled.
