UDF Flushing Program Gets Underway
Updated
Aug. 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 August:
Canoe Creek, Cliffdale Cottages, Cloverleaf Acres, Cresthaven, Devonwood, Edens Farm, Jennings Farm, Kings Cross, The Lakes, Lake Shores, Lillington Place, Morgan Place, Morganton Rd., Murray Fork, Waterford Villas, Waters Edge
