Batesville Water flushing mains

BATESVILLE, Ind. — The Batesville Water Utility will be flushing water mains tomorrow and Friday.

This flushing can significantly lower the water pressure in the area where the flushing occurs.

The procedure is done to remove sediment from the mains and improve the water quality, which officials say is the utility’s primary concern.

During flushing the sediment in the pipes will break loose from the walls and can cause a dark color in the water which can stain clothing and makes the water unsightly to drink.

The main problem customers will notice will be the fluctuations in water pressure.

If you have questions or concerns, call the Batesville Water Utility at 934-3811.
