Indiana American Water crews will begin routine flushing of the water distribution system in the Seymour area starting Monday and going through Nov. 3.

Flushing will occur between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Flushing allows the company to test and maintain fire hydrants and provides customers with high-quality water service.

When crews are working in your area, you may notice reduced pressure or discolored water. If your water is discolored, run the cold water taps only at the lowest level of the house for about 3 to 5 minutes until the water runs clear. If discolored water occurs, also refrain from doing laundry during that time.

In keeping with American Water’s focus on safety for customers and employees, do not approach crews while they work.
