Dates and Schedule
Water system flushing started in May and will continue through October 2024. 

Areas Affected
Flushing will be systematically conducted throughout the city, including residential and commercial areas. During this period, please note that your water supply may experience temporary discoloration or a slight drop in pressure.

Impact on Water Supply
While we carry out the flushing process, you may experience brief interruptions in your water supply. However, these disruptions should be minimal and temporary, typically lasting for just a few minutes. We appreciate your understanding during this necessary maintenance activity.

Water Quality
The flushing process plays a vital role in removing sediment and mineral deposits that naturally accumulate in water mains over time. It is possible that the water may appear discolored or contain small particles during flushing. If your water becomes cloudy or discolored, flush water until color returns to normal. If water does not become clear, please contact the Public Works Department at 907-235-3170 or via email at publicworks@ci.homer.ak.us to report the matter.
