Covering Coastal Douglas County:

The Reedsport Fire Department is performing water system/fire hydrant flushing through Friday.

A city release said all residents and users are advised that there may be a temporary drop in water pressure during the system flushing process. After flushing is complete, there may be a “milky” coloration to the water. These are bubbles and will resolve shortly. There may also be a small amount of sediment that may be present due to the flushing operations

If either of these conditions are present, customers should run water until conditions improve. Anyone with questions should contact the Reedsport Public Works Department at 541-271-3207.
