Knox Water Department to Conduct Hydrant Flushing This Week

Crews from the Knox Water Department will start flushing fire hydrants throughout the city beginning on Monday, October 22nd and will continue through Thursday, October 25th.

A news release from the Mayor’s office indicates that tap water may appear brown as a result of this procedure. The water is still safe to drink but it can be cleared up by running cold water from a bathtub or outside faucet.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Mayor’s Office at 772-4553 or the Water Department at 772-3032.
