Hydrant Flushing

Starts: Wednesday, June 22

Ends: Friday, June 24

The Town's bi-annual flushing is done to remove any built-up sediment in the lines that may cause an issue.

Some households may see sediment in their water after flushing has been completed.

This is not a health hazard and is perfectly fine to drink and use. Flushing your taps for 5 minutes will get rid of this and improve the aesthetic quality of the water.

Removing the screen on your tape while flushing it would also be beneficial.

Please be patient with us while we continue to keep the health and safety of Fort Smith residents as a top priority.
