Le Mars Daily Sentinel

The City of LeMars Water Department will be flushing hydrants on Tuesday.

They will start at 8 a.m. and end at 3:15 p.m. if applicable.

The first section will be the Northeast part of town and should finish mid-day on Wednesday. Mid-day on Wednesday they will start flushing the Northwest part of town and finish the Northwest on Thursday.

Please refrain from washing clothes in these areas during flushing times. If you experience discolored water refrain from using your hot water until the water is clear outside at the hose bib. This will tell you the water coming into your home or business is clear. It could take some time to see it clear up inside the home or business.

"Thank you for your cooperation on this matter," said Gayle Sitzmann, water superintendent.

If you have questions call the Water Dept. at 546-5555 from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or city hall at 546-7018 until 5 p.m.
