The city will be flushing its fire hydrants from Aug. 10 to Aug. 17. According to a constituent services email to residents, "As a result of this work, you may experience a short period of water discoloration. Although the water may be discolored, it is safe to drink. Until the water runs clear, however, you may wish to avoid washing clothes, especially white fabrics. If any rust stains appear on wet laundry, the clothes should not be dried, and you should contact 311 for a free bottle of rust remover."
