Plant 24 Well A Flushing, Beginning 9/14/10

Beginning on 09/14/10, East Valley Water District will continue flushing Plant 24 Well B. Due to repairs and maintenance the plant had to be shut down. Due to federal and state regulations the plant will need to be flushed before it can be placed back into the distribution system. Plant 24 is located at the corner of Lynwood and Harrison in San Bernardino.

The district is looking at flushing for approximately 8 hours for 6 days (09/14-17/10 & 09/20-21/10), approx. 8am – 4pm and 9/22/10-9/23/10, approximately 9am-11am. If the sampling comes back absent of bacteria it will be returned to service on the fifth day. If sampling comes back positive for bacteria, we will need to continue flushing until we get a good sample, so it is possible we may need to flush more days.

The Water that is being flushed is non-potable (not fit for human consumption) water. The intersection at Lynwood & Harrison will be affected by this flushing. Warning signs regarding the flushing will be posted in the area. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions regarding this flushing please call our Engineering Department during the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday through Friday at (909) 888-8986.
