Beginning Monday Oct 18, 2021 we will be performing maintenance on the water distribution system (flushing hydrants) in your area which may result in sediment being disturbed within the water-mains. Although the sediment is common and expected in any system, we are now required by State Statue to notify our customers that this sediment may contain lead even though our water system contains no know lead conduits. However, the plumbing contained within your home or business may contain some components which could contain lead. Water users may notice cloudy or dirty water on days when their street lines are being flushed. Please check your water before doing laundry. The flushing program is designed to cleanse water lines of sediment and iron manganese buildup. The flushings will improve water quality. If you have questions please contact the Petersburg Water Department at 632-2156. Your cooperation is appreciated. Thanks!
