Pioneer resorts to water line flushing after quality complaints

The brand new Pioneer water plant went online last week, but since then about one dozen customers have complained about bad taste and a foul smell. Terry Pruitt, general manager, says crews have begun flushing lines in the problem areas and, as put it this afternoon, “the issue seems to be improving.” According to Pruitt, the cause of what happened is the reversing of water flow in many of the lines.
