Aqua Ohio to conduct water main flushing in Tiffin service area

Tiffin, Ohio — Aqua Ohio’s Tiffin Division has announced that it will be conducting water main flushing in the Tiffin service area from Monday, April 10 through Friday, April 14 between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Flushing is an essential part of Aqua’s regular maintenance program. It helps ensure that hydrants and valves are working properly and prevents sediment buildup, according to a press release from the company.

During the flushing period, customers may notice a drop in water pressure or temporary water discoloration, but there will be no interruptions in water service. Customers are advised to refrain from doing laundry during this time to avoid possible staining. If tap water is discolored, customers should allow it to run until it clears. Running several cold-water faucets at the same time will help the water clear faster.
