Crews with the District of Sparwood have begun annual water flushing operations around the community.
The flushing program cleans out the inside of water mains within the distribution system.
A high velocity of water flow in a single direction scours the inner wall to reduce the build up of any sediment, biofilm, or mineral deposits in the line.
You may notice discoloured water after the flushing takes place.
That can be fixed by running the cold water tap until it runs clear.
