Notice of Annual Water System Flush

ANNUAL WATER SYSTEM MAINTENANCE                                                                                                        

On Monday, October 30th, the City of Lebanon will begin the annual flushing of the public water system.  The annual flushing is done to ensure clean, safe drinking water, increase flows through fire hydrants, and identify any maintenance needs before they become a problem.  During the process, City of Lebanon Maintenance Crews will be flushing fire hydrants and exercising water valves all throughout the city.  While the Crews are flushing the system there is the potential for sediment in the pipes to be stirred up causing discoloration of the water.  If customers should encounter discolored water in their home, customers should turn on all the cold-water faucets and allow them to run until the water is clear and flush all toilets twice.  If running the water doesn’t alleviate the problem, customers are encouraged to call 541-258-4918 and staff will assist the customers.

To assist our crews with this annual system maintenance we are asking that no leaves be placed in the streets at this time, as this will help prevent unnecessary flooding. If you do have leaves in the streets at this time, please remove them. Our 2023 leaf pick-up season will not begin until November 14th.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we perform the necessary work.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Public Works at 541-258-4918 or pw@ci.lebanon.or.us.
