When is the flushing scheduled to be completed?

The Lester Water Department is flushing the municipal water system this week, starting Monday, between the hours of midnight and five A.M., and lasting through Friday morning. Flushing is performed every spring as regular maintenance to remove mineral deposits and sedimentation that has collected over the winter months. Residents are asked to let the cold water run from the tap for a full minute to ensure that it is clear. The water may be temporarily discolored but it is safe to drink and to use for cooking. For more information, call three-five-seven, five-four, three-nine.
