The City of Stratford will flush fire hydrants starting next week.
Officials say the goal is to remove any iron that has settled into the watermains.
As a result, you may experience some discoloured water in your home, but water quality won’t be affected.
To clear discoloured water, city staff say you should run cold water for 10-15 minutes. If the water doesn’t clear by then, turn off the tap and wait 30 minutes.
The flushing is scheduled to start Sept. 8 and run for several weeks.
