Sewer Rate Increase Q&A (Summer 2025)
This Press Release contains information on the recent sewer rate increase, and answers to frequently asked questions.
2025 Summer Hydrant Flushing
Fire hydrant flushing is an important maintenance activity that removes sediment and mineral buildup from water mains, which can accumulate over time. This process helps improve water flow, ensures proper hydrant operation for fire protection, and preserves water quality throughout the system. During flushing, customers may notice temporary discoloration in their water. This is normal and can be resolved by running cold water for a few minutes until it clears. We appreciate your understanding as we work to maintain a clean and reliable water system for our communities. For updates on flushing schedules or additional information, please see the below Press Release. Feel free to contact JCWSD with any questions. Thank you for your cooperation.
