GENERAL ALERT
American Water Works Service Company, Inc.
STARTS 4/2/2021, 9:15 AM

Alexandria: Alexandria City

Virginia American Water will begin routine flushing of its water distribution system in Alexandria on Monday, April 5th through Friday, April 16th. Hydrant flushing will take place weekdays between 8 am and 4 pm. This work is necessary to ensure that you continue to receive high-quality water service. Flushing also allows us to monitor and maintain fire hydrants. This is an essential part of our system maintenance program and is unrelated to the current COVID-19 pandemic.

When crews are working in your area, you may notice reduced pressure or discolored water. If your water is discolored, wait until it runs clear before using. This should typically take only a few minutes.

Our drinking water treatment barriers provide protection that includes filtration and disinfection of our water supplies. These treatments are effective in removing and/or inactivating viruses. Our water meets all current federal and state drinking water requirements.
