Notice of Water System/Hydrant Flushing beginning September 16, 2024
September 13, 2024
City of Ishpeming Water System/Hydrant Flushing
The City of Ishpeming DPW will begin water system flushing on September 16th, 2024. Flushing will generally occur between the hours of 7 am and 3 pm and is expected to be complete by September 20th, 2024 but may take up to two weeks to flush the entire system.
Generally speaking, flushing will begin at the north end of town (Eighth Addition) and progress southward. Some deviations will occur as flushing approaches the water storage tank.
When flushing occurs in your neighborhood, the accumulated sediment in the water mains will be stirred up and much of the sediment will be flushed out of the system. However, due to limitations on the system, some sediment will remain, causing discolored water. If your water appears discolored it is recommended that you give it time to clear up then run your cold-water faucet for a few minutes to make sure the discolored water is cleared. We recommend water customers avoid washing laundry during the period hydrants are flushed in their area. Water service should not be interrupted and no boil advisories are required as a result of this process.
Please contact the DPW at 486-9371 with any questions or concerns you might have.
