Water Distribution System Flushing Begins October 5

The Town of Brome Lake will begin flushing the municipal water system on Monday, October 5.

The operation will begin in the Knowlton sector and continue in the Bondville sector.

Reminder: This procedure helps ensure good drinking water quality, remove iron and manganese particles from the water pipes, and maintain the water system in good working condition.

Please note that this is not a boil water advisory. Water discoloration does not affect the water’s compliance with drinking water standards.

What you may notice

When flushing is taking place in your area, you may notice:

• a temporary decrease in water pressure;
• reddish or yellowish water caused by the release of iron and manganese particles from the pipes.

If you notice discoloured water, let the cold water run for a few minutes until it runs clear.
