The Roseburg Fire Department is flushing fire hydrants inside the city limits now through June 30th.

Hydrant flushing will be conducted from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. seven days a week.

A city release said RFD realizes that hydrant flushing may cause some inconvenience; however, the flushing program is necessary to ensure proper functioning and delivery of adequate water from the water mains when it is needed for fire control. The community’s cooperation with this hydrant flushing is appreciated.

During the flushing process, customers may experience low water pressure or discolored water. While the water is safe to drink, customers may prefer to wait until it runs clear before drinking or washing clothes and dishes.
