Moscow water flushing to begin Monday
The city of Moscow will be flushing water systems from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. starting Monday. The flushing will start on Monday and Tuesday from Main Street west to city limits between D Street and Taylor Avenue.
On Wednesday and Thursday, flushing will take place on D Street north to city limits between Almon and Polk streets and from Taylor Avenue south to Palouse River Drive. The flushing will include the Frontier addition.
On Thursday and Friday the flushing will be from Sixth Street to the city limits between Polk Street and Mountain View Road and will include the Fort Russell Area.
On May 30 to 31, flushing will include Sixth Street to the Troy Highway and east to Mountain View Road to include the Indian Hills Addition.
Flushing will conclude June 1 to June 2 for everything east of Mountain View Road from the north to south of city limits.
During flushing, there will be water on the roadways and drivers are encouraged to use caution while driving through the areas. The flushing is needed to minimize iron flocculation buildup in the system.
