Description
Debris in old pipes causes yellow/rusty water when disturbed by opened fire hydrants. Almost weekly our water turns yellow. It takes days for it to clear up, or clears immediately if the city releases water until clear from neighboring hydrants. So much water is wasted during this process, which takes around 10 minutes. The powerful stream of water damages lawns, plants, and displaces dirt around nearby street lamps. Could we please get a permanent solution by pipe replacement? We shouldn't have to forgo drinking, bathing in, and washing white clothes in dirty (and possibly dangerous) water on a regular basis. Thank you.

Our Water Quality section tried to make contact to the resident at 3403 N Broad Place, and we also tried to call the number that was listed on the sign inside the front door but it is disconnected. We have not received any other complaints about water discoloration or any other types of water quality calls around this area. We do regular flushing in our water distribution system, which helps to keep the cleanest water available to our customers. Sometimes, water inside the home becomes discolored because of old deteriorated galvanized piping from the meter to the house and throughout the house. If you are still experiencing these issues, please contact our Water Quality line at (256) 650-6374.

Our Water Quality and Water Operations employees have made contact with the resident at 3404 N. Broad Place. We flushed the water main and we have created a maintenance ticket for more work next week. Weather permitting, this issue will be resolved by the end of the week, and we will not close this ticket until he issue is resolved.
