Pennsylvania American Water has started flushing its distribution system in Mt. Lebanon, a project that will continue through June 18.
The nine-week project is done 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays during which time workers open fire hydrants to flush sediments from water mains. The process improves water quality and makes sure that hydrants and valves are working properly.
Temporary disruptions may include discolored water, but there is no health hazard associated with the color. Customers should allow a few hours for discoloration to dissipate and then run the cold-water tap for a few minutes.
Customers with concerns should call the customer service center at 800-565-7292.
