Covering coastal Douglas County:

The Reedsport Fire Department is performing water system/fire hydrant flushing on all streets in Gardiner through Friday.

A city release said all residents and system users are advised that there may be a temporary drop in water pressure during the system flushing process. Further, after the flushing is complete, there may be a milky coloration to the water. These are bubbles and will resolve shortly. There could also be a small amount of sediment that may be present due to the flushing operations. If either of these conditions are present, users should run the water until the conditions improve.

Anyone with questions should contact the City of Reedsport Public Works Department at 541-271-3603.
