Water main flushing begins

The Cheney Water Department began its annual water main flushing on Monday, March 15, beginning with fire hydrants in Zone 1.

Flushing these water mains may cause brief periods of discolored water. If experiencing discolored water, please flush the cold water tap and/or irrigation system for 10 – 15 minutes to see if it clears up. If it doesn’t clear up please contact the Public Works Department at (509) 498-9293.

The flushing program is estimated to take 3 – 4 weeks to complete. The city will update its website when crews will be flushing.
