The Wahpeton Public Works Department will begin flushing the city water distribution system on Tuesday,

Flushing will begin in the morning in the northwest part of the city and will move south through town, ending in the airport area on Thursday.

Some City water customers may notice discoloration of their water due to iron and manganese deposits being loosened and flushed from the water mains.

However, the water is safe to consume as usual.

If discoloration occurs, we advise customers to run a cold water faucet until it clears.

If the discoloration persists, call 642-6565.
