Water Main flushing will begin next week in Chillicothe. CMU Water Services Superintendent Chris Bonderer says the department will be flushing fire hydrants in areas south of the Viaduct and both east and west of Washington Street. Bonderer says this could result in a change in the appearance of their water.
Result in cloudy or discolored water. To clear this, open a tub faucet or outdoor spigot and allow it to run for a while.
He says the purpose of the project is to flush sediment from the system, which, if left unchecked, could cause issues in the future.
Bonderer says when they finish with the south part of Chillicothe, they will begin in other parts of the community and announcements will be made as the work progresses.
