Village to flush water system, possibly impacting water at school buildings
The village of Liberty will flush its water mains by opening hydrants throughout the system later this month. This may cause low water pressure and water throughout the village to become brown. The water will not be contaminated.
The flushing will likely impact the Liberty Elementary, Middle and High Schools and the District Office.
Flushing of the Parksville transmission line will take Sept. 15-29, with the Village Water System starting Sept. 29 until complete. Flushing will take place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
If water begins to get brown in a building, water fountains will be temporarily shut down until the water clears. Bottled water will be available if fountains are shut down. All staff and students are encouraged to limit water use while
Updates will be available on the village website, www.libertyvillageny.org.
