WATER PRESSURE AND COLOUR IMPACTS
Sylvan Lake conducting annual hydrant flushing
May 5, 2025 | 1:11 PM
The Town of Sylvan Lake is performing its yearly maintenance on its water distribution system, which includes flushing fire hydrants.
Fire hydrant flushing will occur until Sept. 15 and as a result, residents should expect:
- Temporary drop in water pressure
- Slight discolouration of your water caused by mineral deposits
Residents’ water will still be safe to drink, even if discoloured. To clear the discolouration, the town suggests running a cold water tap for a few minutes before use.
