The City of Arkansas City is continuing its annual fire hydrant flushing program, with work proceeding all across north Arkansas City starting next week. The Environmental Services Department on Wednesday will begin flushing Section 6, which contains a total of 25 fire hydrants located on Summit Street from Madison to Kansas.
Flushing will continue in Section 6 through at least July 29th. All flushing will be conducted between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Mondays through Fridays only. Water customers in this area might experience temporary discoloration or low water pressure during this fire hydrant flushing program. Most discoloration can be corrected by flushing a faucet for a few minutes, but if flushing does not correct the problem or if you continue to notice a pressure loss, call (620) 441-4480 (Office) or (620) 441-4492 (On Call Phone after 4 P.M.) The Environmental Services Department advises that you do not wash laundry if your water is discolored because that can stain the items permanently. If laundry does become stained, please leave the items wet, call one of the numbers above and a detergent designed to remove the stains will be delivered to your address.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience during this annual fire hydrant flushing program.
