Upcoming Aurora Hydrant Flushing
Portage and Cleveland area
April 18, 2022 thru May 6, 2022
The City of Aurora Water Department will be flushing the waterlines for the Portage area (generally the southeast section of the city) and the Cleveland water area (generally north of Lena Drive and west of the industrial area) beginning Monday, April 18, 2022 through Friday, May 6, 2022. The purpose of this flushing is to improve carrying capacity and water quality, which will remove settled substances, and discolored or stale water.
Flushing will take place between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Customers may experience intermittent pressure fluctuations and a temporary condition of discolored water. If discoloration occurs, customers should NOT allow their water to run. This will not clear discoloration. The iron in the water main needs time to settle. Water clarity will return. Do NOT wash whites if water is discolored. Discolored water will dissipate within 1 or 2 days but is safe for bathing, drinking and food preparation.
Should you have any special concerns, please feel free to call the Water Department at 330.995.9109 or email at utilitydepartment@auroraoh.com.
