Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, ApRil 7, 2023 Mayor announces Hydrant Flushing through May 26 M ayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce that the Water Department has begun flushing water mains throughout the City and will continue through Friday, May 26, 2023. Hydrant fl ushing will be performed Mondays–Fridays between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. “Flushing our hydrants is crucial to maintaining clean water throughout the community,” said Mayor DeMaria. “I am grateful to the Water Department for dedicating their time to ensure the City is providing clean water to our residents.” The purpose of fl ushing is to remove sediment build up in the mains and to verify the safe operation of hydrants and valves. Hydrant fl ushing might result in temporary discoloration of the water – caused by small particles that dislodge during the fl ushing – as well as temporary reduction in pressure. Discolored water will be temporary and is not harmful. However, the discolored water might stain your laundry, especially white materials. Therefore, please avoid doing laundry during the noted fl ushing period. Prior to washing clothes, including times after the hours stated in this notice, please check the cold water for possible discoloration. If water is discolored, let the cold water run for a few minutes until water becomes clear. If it does not clear at that time, try again later. Unfortunately, the City cannot fully guarantee the safety of doing laundry and/or the possibility of discoloration even during the evenings and other times of the day as the water system has been disturbed. Therefore, please check your water carefully prior to doing laundry and inspect the laundry before drying it. The Water Department appreciates your patience as it works to improve the quality of the drinking water. If you would like additional information, please call the Water Department at 617-394-2327. ~ Calendar of Events at the Everett public libraries ~ April 10–15, 2023 Parlin Adult and Teens Connolly Center Book Group: Thursday, April 13 at 12:00 p.m. In Joanna Schaff hausen’s “Gone for Good: A Novel.” “The Lovelorn Killer murdered seven women, ritually binding them and leaving them for dead before penning gruesome love letters in the local papers.
