Residents of Shaunavon may have noticed a slight discoloration of their water over the past few weeks.

Last year when the Town swabbed the waterlines, all surfaces in the pipes were cleaned giving fine iron particles no place to stick to.

As water usage increases, these particles get stirred up and come out in your tap,causing discoloration.

To help clear some of these particles from the lines, Town of Shaunavon crews will be Hydrant Flushing from June 8-12.

Opening a tap and allowing the water to run for a few minutes should remove any discoloration, and residents are asked to please not wash clothing during these times.
