West side phase of M.L. flushing program starts June 25
Meadow Lakers on the city’s west side will have to watch their water next week.
The City of Meadow Lake is removing sediment from the water mains and fire hydrants in the city, and the unidirectional flushing is being completed by a company contracted by the city.
“It overall improves the colour and water flow quality,” City Clerk Jessica Walters told meadowlakeNOW in an interview earlier this month. “You close specific valves to get all the water flowing one way. It is higher pressure, so it does a better job and it’s also more efficient as it uses less water.”
Streets west of Centre St. will start to be flushed Monday, June 25, and the activity should wrap up Friday, June 29. There will be daily updates, schedules, and maps on the city’s website and social media pages.
