City to flush out water mains

The city will be flushing water mains in southeast Winnipeg starting this week.

Crews will begin the annual work, which helps preserve water quality, on Wednesday.

Flushing allows the city to test the system and ensure it’s working well, a news release stated.

Crews will first flush water mains in St. Boniface, then continue in other areas until the end of August.

Affected residents will receive a notice two to four days before flushing begins on their street. A live map at wfp.to/watermains also displays that information.
