The purpose of the flushing program is to remove the buildup of Iron and Manganese deposits that have collected in the water mains.  The water is bacteria free however it is not recommended to consume the water if it is extremely discolored.  Customers living in the area affected by the flushing program are encouraged not to perform any laundry tasks at this time.  The isolation of ice machines is recommended to prevent any iron and manganese deposits from plugging the ice machines.

The City of Norfolk would like to thank you for your patience during this program.
