The Moline Water Division will begin hydrant-flushing Monday, April 22.

According to a release, Water Division personnel will verify proper operation of more than 2,500 fire hydrants located in Moline. This operation removes deposits and sediment that can accrue in the water mains. Customers may experience some discoloration or cloudiness in their water for a short time following hydrant-flushing. Generally, this will clear up by running some water from a cold-water tap for a few minutes. The water is safe to use during this time, but customers should refrain from doing laundry while flushing is being conducted in their area.
