The City of Fond du Lac Water Utility has scheduled bi-annual citywide unidirectional water main flushing to begin on Monday. The flushing will begin in the northeast section of the city followed by the southeast on Tuesday and southwest and northwest Wednesday between the hours of 7:00 am and 5:00 pm. During hydrant flushing, residents may notice a slight discoloration of water. This is temporary and poses no health risk. However, you are asked not do laundry or use automatic ice machines until the water runs clear from your tap. The objective of this program is to improve overall water quality.
