The City of Orange will begin a citywide water flushing operation on Monday, January 13, 2025, as part of ongoing efforts to enhance water quality for residents and businesses. The operation is expected to continue throughout the week.
During the flushing process, residents may notice fire hydrants discharging water, along with occasional fluctuations in water pressure and slight discoloration. These changes are temporary and pose no health risks.
The flushing operation involves releasing water at high pressure through the city’s fire hydrants to remove sediment and maintain the overall quality and integrity of the water distribution system.
Residents are encouraged to:
- Run cold water taps for a few minutes if discoloration occurs to clear the water.
- Avoid doing laundry during periods of discoloration to prevent staining.
The City of Orange appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation during this essential maintenance process, which is a proactive step in ensuring a reliable and high-quality water supply for all.
