The City of St. Cloud will run another round of flushing its municipal water lines beginning Monday.
The City of St. Cloud will run another round of flushing its municipal water lines beginning Monday.
It's another step in working to remove any lingering resin from the water system.
This follows six weeks of ice pigging water lines in targeted areas. The city also cleaned the ground storage tanks and flushed the main transmission line coming from water treatment plant No. 4, the original source of problems.
The work starting Monday will clean water lines from that point, the city said, moving systematically outward from the plant, through the targeted area of the system.
Customers in the areas where flushing is occurring may experience reduced water pressure during that time; pressure will return to normal once the flushing is finished. The city will be posting updated on its social media pages and web site each week with information on what areas will be flushed that week. The unidirectional flushing is expected to take several months to complete.
Next week's targeted areas are:
Nolte Road from Old Canoe Creek Road to Canoe Creek Road, Canoe Creek Road from Nolte Road to Settlers Trail
Settlers Trail, Settlers Court, Old Canoe Creek Road from Kissimmee Park Road to Settlers Trail
Old Canoe Creek Road from Settlers Trail to Canoe Creek Road, Zion Drive,
Canoe Creek Road from Settlers Trail to Pine Tree Drive
Teka Village, Sawyer Estates Apartments
Customers experiencing issues are strongly encouraged to report it online, on the StCloudConnect app, or call 407-957-7344.
