La Luz Fire Department, will be conducting routine fire hydrant flushing to increase water flows - allowing us to "flush" any minerals & deposits from the pipes. While flushing the system won't interrupt your water service, when crews are working in your area, you may notice a temporary drop in water pressure or discolored water. This is normal. If this happens, simply let your water run until it is clear.
Customer Tips
* Avoid running your tap water & using the washing machine or dishwasher while crews are flushing in your area.
* If discolored water occurs, simply run the cold water for a few minutes until it is clear. This will allow the sediment to work its way through your pipes.
* Check for discolored water before using the washing machine or dishwasher. NOTE: If your laundry becomes stained, DO NOT PUT YOUR LAUNDRY IN THE DRYER. Rewash clothes immediately using detergent & add a rust remover. Rust removers can also be used on stained fixtures.
In some cases, slight discoloration might linger for a few hours. This discoloration only affects the appearance of the water & does not affect water quality. No Health hazards are associated with discolored water from hydrant flushing.
If water pressure or water volume seems low after flushing has been completed, check your faucet screens for trapped particles.
We will make every effort to notify you with a brief message via phone text at least 24-48 hours prior to hydrant flushing.
Please remember that the La Luz Fire Department Personnel are volunteers, yet committed to serving our community, so thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
La Luz Water Board Members & Staff
