ROSEBURG, Ore. — Roseburg firefighters are set to begin annual fire hydrant flushing on Tuesday, April 1, with work continuing on weekdays through Tuesday, June 30.
Hydrant flushing is scheduled to take place between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
During that time, residents may notice temporary drops in water pressure or discolored water. City officials said the water remains safe to drink, though people may want to let faucets run until the water clears before using it for drinking or for washing clothes and dishes.
The Roseburg Fire Department said the yearly flushing program is an important part of maintaining the city’s water system for fire protection. The process helps ensure hydrants are working properly and that water can be delivered effectively from city water mains during emergencies.
Officials acknowledged the work may cause some inconvenience and thanked residents for their cooperation during the flushing period.
