Water system flushing starts April 5
Pocatello City
POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) - Beginning April 5, you might see water flowing out of fire hydrants around Pocatello.
Monday marks the start of the City of Pocatello Water Department’s annual water system flushing process. During the effort, crews open valves on fire hydrants to remove any build-up of material in water pipes.
“The annual system flush helps to clear any sediment within the pipes to ensure residents are receiving high-quality water,” said Justin Armstrong, Water Department Superintendent. “Additionally, it helps us to verify the condition and proper operation of fire hydrants as well as help us identify any inefficiencies within the system.”
