West Warwick, RI -- Kent County Water Authority depending on weather and system demand conditions will conduct hydrant flushing of our entire system including Coventry, East Greenwich, West Warwick and a portion of Scituate, Cranston, Warwick, and West Greenwich.  Description is as follows:

This flushing is being done to remove the bulk of the accumulated sediments and mineral deposits in our water mains prior to the onset of our summer demand period.

This flushing will occur during the daytime hours on Monday, April 28, 2014 thru the daytime hours of Friday, May 9, 2014 between8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.  Our customers may experience some discolored water and lower than normal water pressure during this period.

If you experience discoloration, allow your cold water to run for a short time to clear this up.  We will have our crews in the field to monitor this during the hydrant flushing.

We certainly apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.  Flushing is important for our continued operation of our system and to provide consistent quality of water to our customers.

Certainly, if any customers have concerns during  this flushing period, you may call the Kent County Water Authority at 821-8300.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
