Notice from the City of Petersburg Water Department Beginning the week of July 21st
We will be performing maintenance on the water distribution system (flushing hydrants) in your area which may result in sediment being disturbed within the water-mains. Although this sediment is common and expected in any system, we are now required by State Statute to notify our customers that this sediment may contain lead even though our water system contains no known lead conduits. However, the plumbing contained within your home and/or business may contain components which could contain lead.
Water users may notice cloudy or dirty water on days when their lines are being flushed. Please check your water before doing laundry.
The flushing program is designed to cleanse water lines of sediment and iron manganese buildup. The flushing will improve water quality.
If you have any questions, please contact the
Water Department at 217-632-2156
