City of Nevada begins hydrant flushing

The City of Nevada will start the flushing of water mains on Monday, May 17, 2021. There may be a temporary drop in water pressure during testing periods and occasionally, water becomes discolored after hydrant flushing. We recommend you flush your water until it turns clear prior to drinking it, using it for cooking, or washing clothes.

If you notice discolored water, run your cold water tap for a few minutes until the water clears. If it does not clear the first time, wait a few minutes and run the water again. If the water has not cleared after several hours, call City Hall 417.448.5115 option 2.

• Monday, May 17 - Tower Street to West City limits; Olive and College streets from Atlantic to Radio Springs Park.
