Elkhart Public Utilities will begin the spring water main flushing at 6 a.m. on Sunday, April 28, and will continue through 3 p.m. on Wednesday, May 15.

Water main flushing will not take place on Primary Election Day, Tuesday, May 6.

The utility warns residents that on the day when flushing is scheduled for their area, drains should be plugged in flood prone areas.

Residents can help by making sure inlets and catch basins near their homes are clear of debris.

Since flushing will discolor the water, it is advised not to launder clothing when flushing is in progress within the area. Some discoloration will occur in areas not on the schedule that particular day.

Pressures will be reduced in certain areas because of the flushing. This will be a temporary condition.
