The city of Ocean Shores Water Department will be flushing fire hydrants in the northwestern area of the city during the months of April and May. Work will be conducted from Ocean Lake Way to Pacific Blvd. NW on April 11 and 12, from Pacific Blvd NW to W. Chance A La Mer on April 25 and 26, and from W. Chance A La Mer to Damon Road on May 9 and 10.

It is common for flushing activities to stir up sediment in the water lines surrounding the work areas. The water department recommends that you do not use hot water during the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the days the hydrants are flushed. If you experience discoloration of your water, please run the cold water tap for a few minutes until it clears. If you must use hot water during flushing operations, the city strongly recommends flushing your hot water tank after operations are complete.
