Clemson to “flush” the water mains

Flushing water mains improve water quality by removing sediment that slowly builds up at the bottom of the main over time.  It’s why the utilities department of the city of Clemson on Friday will flush the water mains, generally, for most neighborhoods, between 12 am and 5 am.  Water is sometimes discolored after water main cleaning, but the city says this should not last long.
