Riverhead’s public water mains will be flushed over the next three weeks beginning Sunday evening, the Riverhead Water District announced.
The annual fall flushing will continue through Oct. 28.
“Most of the work will be done at night to minimize any inconvenience to our consumers,” Riverhead Water District Superintendent Mark Conklin said.
He advises all water district customers to check their water before use, including before doing laundry, during this period.
“If the water is discolored, run your cold water for several minutes. If your water still doesn’t run clear, wait awhile and try again,” Conklin said.
For additional information, call the water district at 631-727-3205 or 631-727-3200 ext. 234 during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. To 4:30 p.m.. After hours and in case of emergency, call the Riverhead Police Department at 631-727-4500.
