2024 Biannual Hydrant Flushing

The Oelwein Public Works department will begin the biannual hydrant flushing on Monday, April 22^nd and will continue throughout the week. Flushing will begin each day at 7:00 AM and continue until 3:30 PM. Residents are asked not to wash clothes both days of flushing due to rust being stirred up in the water. Residents then should check both their hot and cold water before washing clothes to see if the water quality has returned to normal. For the full route of the hydrant flushing, please see the supporting document.
