Dirty
(brown) water is normally the result of water interruption by the
opening and closing of a fire hydrant. Shutting down, and then restoring
a water line to service may also cause it. In the event of dirty
water coming from your tap, you need to let your water run as well
as contacting the Public Works Department who will proceed to flush
the City’s fire hydrant lines. To report dirty water,
Fire
Hydrants within the City are the responsibility of the Utility Maintenance
Department. The City’s Fire Department runs periodic static
and residual testing on them as well as flushing the entire system
once a year. The Utility Maintenance Department does all the maintenance,
repair, raising or lowering, and installation of fire hydrants.
The
Utility Maintenance Department is responsible 12 lift stations throughout
the community. A lift station is located at a low level area and
it’s purpose is to lift sewage to a higher gravity area which
eventually flows into one of the two waste treatment plants. The
lift stations are checked twice weekly and serviced on an as-needed
basis. With the addition of the recently purchased Vac Truck, the
cleaning of the lift stations has proven to be more cost efficient.
In
the event of a water main break, the Public Works Department will
sent a crew to repair the City line. Procedure: Water main breaks
should be reported to the Public Works Department, Monday through
Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM at 238-7142. After hours
emergency calls should be directed to the Junction City Police Department
at 762-5912.
