The City of Goldsboro Public Works Department will begin its annual uni-directional water line flushing program on Feb. 28 at 10 p.m. Crews will be flushing lines from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. daily except Fridays and Saturdays. The flushing program is expected to last approximately six weeks, through April 8, provided there are no incidents of inclement weather or extremely cold temperatures.

Residents may experience some discolored water during this process. If discolored water is experienced, residents should run their cold water for a short period to clear any discolored water that may be in their plumbing. If this does not resolve the problem, or if residents have any other questions or concerns, they should contact the Public Works Department during normal working hours -- 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. at 734-8674.
