Water Main Flushing

Mosinee Water Utility Customers

The Mosinee Water Utility will again be starting the process of aggressively flushing water mains throughout the City.

This aggressive flushing will be done according to our written Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Program.

The UDF program utilizes computer generated models and system mapping to determine a sequence for flushing/cleaning individual sections of water main in a systematic method.

We are continuing this aggressive flushing program in an effort to improve the quality of the water that is being delivered to our customers.

Customers can expect lower water pressure during flushing periods, but you should not lose all water pressure.

If you experience a complete loss of water pressure, please contact the DPW at 715-693-2275 immediately so we can correct the situation.

During flushing, there will be increased chances of dirty water entering your home.

The water is bacteriologically safe, but can stain laundry or have a brown or yellow color to it.

If you notice Utility staff working in your neighborhood, check your water before doing laundry or bathing.

If you do get a “slug” of dirty water into your home, flush the cold water lines through a bath tub or laundry sink.

If the water does not clear up within a couple of minutes please contact the Utility at the number listed below.

Flushing will begin the week of April 29th and is expected to continue into June.

Each day that flushing is planned a map will be posted on the City’s website identifying the area planned for flushing that day.

Flushing will be done during the daytime hours, 7:30 am to 3:00 pm Monday thru Friday, but not on any holiday.

You can also call City Hall for a daily update on what area is planned for flushing. If you have questions, please contact the Public Works Dept. at 715-693-2275 or email to: publicworks@mosinee.wi.us
