Water pipe flushing
Lawrence Public Utilities will flush water mains during normal business hours from September 23 through October 18.

If this occurs, the customer should run a medium cold stream of water until the water is clear. Do not run hot water or do laundry until the water is clear. The City will not reimburse customers for water used to flush their service lines due to iron discoloration. For more information, contact Lawrence Public Utilities at (317) 542-0511.
