The City of Ocean Shores Water Department will be flushing fire hydrants in the north western and the eastern areas of the city in May and June.

Work will be conducted from W. Chance a la Mer to Damon Road on May 4 and 5, from E. Rain Street to Albatross Street on May 18 and 19 and from Albatross Street NE to Pearsall Street NE on June

1 and June 2.

It is common for flushing activities to stir up sediment in the water lines surrounding the work areas. It is recommended that residents do not use hot water during the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the days listed.

If you experience discoloration of your water, please run the cold water tap for a few minutes until it clears. If you must use hot water during flushing operations, we strongly recommend flushing your hot water tank after our operations are complete.
