Hydrant Flushing July 22-26
The Physical Plant will flush Institute-owned fire hydrants on campus beginning Monday, July 22 through Friday, July 26, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
During flushing operations, you may experience temporary discoloration in water and possible reduced water pressure. If discoloration in tap water occurs, let the water run until clear before using. Using the colored or turbid water may stain clothes, so it is advised to avoid washing clothes during the flushing.

If you have questions, contact Patrick O'Dea, project manager, at ext. 8759. 7/1/02
