Covering coastal Douglas County:

The Reedsport Fire Department will continue performing water system/fire hydrant flushing on all streets on the south side of Highway 101 from the west end of Winchester Avenue to east Elm Street through this 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. In addition, after the 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 flushing operations. If either of these conditions are present, run the water until conditions improve.

Residents who have questions can contact the Reedsport Public Works Department at 541-271-3603.
