The City of Lamont will be flushing water hydrants the end of May and/or first week of June, as weather permits. This is needed to help keep the water lines free of mineral deposits. You may experience some water discoloration during and immediately after the flushing. If you do, you need to run your water until it is clear. Remember to check the hot water to see if the discolored water went to your water heater. Try to avoid laundering whites and light colors while you have discolored water. You may also experience some decrease in water pressure during the flushing. This will be temporary and should return to normal on its own after they have completed the flushing in your area. If you have any questions, please contact Public Works Director, Paul Lincoln at (563) 924-2068.  Thank you.
