ISLAND CITY, OR – The hydrant flushing dates in Island City will be extended until April 23, 2021. The City of Island City originally scheduled to have this project wrapped up by this Friday, April 16, 2021. The flushing is necessary to ensure adequate water volume and pressure for fire suppression and to detect any potential problems in the water system.
This may cause some discoloration and sediment in our service lines. If you should detect any discoloration or sediment in your water, let an outside faucet or a cold-water bathtub faucet run until the discoloration or sediment has cleared. Please check for discoloration prior to washing clothes.
If you have any questions, please call the City of Island City at 541.963.5017.
