Each year, New Jersey American Water flushes the pipes in our water distribution system. This is an essential part of our system maintenance program, which helps us to continue to provide you with high-quality water service. Flushing will begin in Lumberton during the week of April 28th and continue until May 18th.
When crews are in your area, customers may notice a drop in water pressure or discolored water. Discolored water may occur because the sediment in water mains gets stirred up when the fire hydrants are used and when the flow of water in mains changes. This is normal. If this happens, it is not harmful. Simply let your cold water run until it is clear. Also, please see attached insert for additional information
