Avalon Semi-Annual Water flushing Program to begin April 8th.

Utility Services Affiliates will begin the semi-annual water flushing program on Monday, April 8, 2024. The program will occur weekdays during the day between 8:00am-3:00pm. While we are flushing in your area, you may experience decreased water pressure or temporary discoloration. Simply allow the water to run until it is clear. This should only take a few minutes. If your water is discolored, you may wish to avoid doing laundry until the flushing is completed in your area. The program will take approximately two weeks to complete. If you have any questions, please call 1-800-729-4030 and a representative will be happy to assist you!
