The City of Canton Water Department will begin flushing fire hydrants starting on Monday, November 3rd, and will continue until done. Flushing is expected to be completed by the end of the month. This work can stir up sediment in the water lines for a short time. It can also temporarily cause low water pressure at your property. Before washing laundry, please check the color of your water to avoid problems. If your water is discolored, run the COLD water tap for 10 – 15 minutes and it should clear up. Thank you!
