Lake Jackson and BWA who supply us with water, schedule this at the same time for maximum effectiveness.

The Utilities Department will begin our city-wide fire hydrant flushing on November 10th. We execute this flushing at the same time as an important water treatment process. This flushing is beneficial to overall water quality to help reduce scaling in the pipes and determine if there are any hydrants that have become a safety issue.

As a result of the flushing procedure, residents may experience temporary discoloration of their water. This discoloration consists of harmless silt and precipitates and does not affect the safety of the water. If you have any questions please call (979)415-2434.
