Why Is Pike Gibson Flushing Water Now?

Pike-Gibson Water is performing spring flushing due to warmer weather. This routine maintenance cleans pipelines and hydrants to ensure clean water delivery to homes and businesses. Here are key points about the flushing operations: Duration: Flushing will continue for the next two weeks, starting on May 5, 2024. Timing: Flushing occurs from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm Central Standard Time (CST). Areas Affected: Customers in Oakland City, Bowman/Union/Mt Olympus/Hazelton, south of Winslow to Arthur Junction, and west of Arthur to Pikeville, including Augusta, may notice reduced water pressure and temporary changes in water color. Impact: Expect lower water pressure and possibly cloudy or discolored water. To minimize effects, avoid doing laundry or washing dishes during flushing. This is a standard procedure conducted twice a year to maintain water quality and should not pose health risks, though it may temporarily affect water appearance and pressure.
