The City of Prince Albert would like residents to take note that hydraulic flushing will start in Zone 1 on Monday, September 19, 2022. The work is scheduled to occur from 7am-7pm, Monday through Friday over the next 4-6 weeks (weather permitting).
Hydraulic flushing is done annually, and Zone 2 was completed last year and will be scheduled again in 2023.
Many residences will not experience any disruption to their water service. In some cases, there may be loss of water pressure and discoloured water.
- Flushing may take anywhere from 30 minutes to three hours.
- You should avoid using water if possible, during the flushing process.
- Turn off any time delayed water systems such as dishwashers, coffee makers, water softeners, filtration systems, and lawn sprinklers.
Hydraulic flushing is a process that uses water to scour waterlines to remove sediment and build-up that accumulates in the pipes over time.
