Welcome to Westport County Water District

Notice to Water Customers:
 

Water Main & Hydrant Flushing is now scheduled for April 22nd and April 23rd, 2024. The weather did not cooperate so we could not fill our water tanks to allow us to flush last month on the scheduled days.

Hydrant flushing is a vital maintenance activity to clean and flush the City’s water mains. Fire hydrants are opened to move a large volume of water at a higher‐than‐normal velocity through the system. This procedure mobilizes particles and minerals that settle over time and flushes them out of the pipes resulting in higher water quality.
 

This activity will cause periods of discolored water that may stain light‐colored laundry. We recommend customers avoid washing light colored laundry on the date scheduled for their area. The water will remain safe to use and will generally clear within a few hours after flushing is completed. If you notice discolored water in your home or business run the water at the hose bibs outside for a few minutes until clear, then run the cold water inside until the water is clear.
