UDF Flushing Program Gets Underway
Updated
Mar. 2, 2010
Fayetteville PWC has begun a comprehensive flushing program designed to ensure our water customers continue to receive quality drinking water. UDF, or uni-directional flushing, involves flushing water through mainlines and discharging from a fire hydrant. In addition to maintaining water quality, flushing can help restore flow and pressures in the water distribution system.
Flushing will generally occur from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm for most areas. In commercialized areas, the flushing will occur at night and early morning hours. Occasionally flushing will be scheduled in residential areas as well. Water service should not be disrupted during the flushing process. However, there may be a slight drop in pressure and/or discolored water at the tap. If discoloration occurs, customers should allow the water to run for 5-10 minutes until clear. If water does not clear, contact PWC at 223-4715 during normal business hours or 1-877-OUR-PWC1 after hours.
The following areas will be effected during March:
Bartons Landing, Cresthaven, Cypress Trace, Devonwood, Edens Farm, Foxfire, Glen Reilly, Kings Cross, LaGrange, The Lakes, Lake Shores, Loch Lomond, Morganton Crest, Morganton Place, Murray Fork, Ponderosa, Preserve at Grande Oaks, Stewarts Creek, Villas of Loch Lomond, Waterford Villas, Waters Edge, Wellington Place.
