FALCONER – The annual fall flushing of water mains is set to get underway in the Village of Falconer.
The Jamestown Board of Public Utilities’ Water Division says flushing will start at 1 p.m. Friday in the areas of Aldren, Mapleshade, Ralph and Valmeere.
The entire village will be flushed on Saturday from 8 p.m. to Sunday morning. During that time residents may notice discolored water in the village and on the north side of Jamestown.
The remainder of the system will be flushed from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and continue the following week. Flushing will take place early Wednesday morning accommodate downtown Jamestown and Fairmount Avenue businesses.
The flushing occurs twice a year to help clean any naturally occurring sediment that builds up in the water lines by opening fire hydrants systematically and letting water run full force.
