Update: City of Aiken Engineering and Utilities Department Addresses Temporary Water Discoloration
AIKEN, SC – The City of Aiken continues to employ an aggressive hydrant flushing program in the downtown area to address discoloration concerns after a water main break downline earlier this week.
If you notice a hydrant flowing, please do not turn it off, as this flushing is necessary to restore water clarity and color. The water continues to be monitored for quality and remains safe for use. However, if you do notice a brown or yellow tint to your water, we recommend running cold water for several minutes to help flush your lines. If doing so does not improve the water color/clarity or you have questions or concerns about your water, please call the City of Aiken Engineering and Utilities Department at 803.642.7617 or 803.642.7629 to prompt an investigation by our crews. We appreciate your patience as our crews work as quickly as they can to clear many miles of line.
Updates will continue to be provided through social media posts, the Aiken Explorer app, and on the City of Aiken website https://www.cityofaikensc.gov/recentalerts. You can also keep updated by calling the Alert Hotline at 803-502-4843.
