Juneau, Alaska (KINY) – Beginning this week, the CBJ Water Utility will begin flushing the water distribution system. The procedure is expected to take some time. Work will occur between 8am and 4:30 pm on weekdays, and is loosely expected to be completed by October 31.
The flushing is scheduled to begin downtown, head north to the hospital, cross over to Douglas, then on to the Lemon Creek area before being done in the Valley, out to the Tee Harbor area.
Customers may encounter water discoloration or minor disruptions in service. To clear the discoloration, first wait until the work crew leaves the area, then run the cold water tap preferably in your bathtub until the water runs clear.
CBJ asks that you please watch for crews working in the roadway, use caution, and obey traffic controls.
For more information, contact CBJ Utilities Administration at (907) 586-0393.
