Logansport Utilities (LU) will be flushing water hydrants for the next four to six weeks to improve water quality, the health of the water system, and ensure hydrants are operational and in good working order.

To minimize inconvenience LU will be flushing areas of the water system overnight Monday through Friday between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m.

There will be no interruption of service while this is in progress.

During the flushing process, nearby residents or businesses may experience temporary water discoloration or low water pressure. This is normal and typically a result of the disturbance of sediment and minerals in the water pipes. The discoloration is usually harmless and temporary.

To check if discoloration has cleared, run the water at one tap for two to three minutes to see if it clears. If it does not clear, wait an hour, and try again.

Customers with any questions about flushing or need to report discolored water or low pressure please call 574-753-6231 and select the water department prompt.
