Water odor, color may change during maintenance

From 7 a.m. Sept. 14 until 7 a.m. Oct. 13, Creston Waterworks will be changing the disinfectant they use from chloramines to free chlorine as part of their maintenance program to assure the highest quality of drinking water is delivered to your home. Flushing of the distribution system will also occur during this maintenance work.

During this time, you may notice a chlorine odor in your drinking water. You may also experience periods of discolored water as a result of the flushing. You can help alleviate this discoloration by turning on your faucets and running the water until it clears.

Contact Steve Guthrie at (641) 782-5817 for further information or with any questions.
