Residents in the Village of Sims are being advised that routine hydrant flushing will take place Thursday and Friday
Village officials say the maintenance work may cause temporary drops in water pressure and occasional water discoloration. The discoloration is caused by sediment being stirred up during the flushing process and is generally considered safe.
Residents are encouraged to check their water for discoloration before doing laundry to avoid potential staining.
Village officials apologize for any inconvenience. Anyone with questions can contact the Village Office at 618-895-2761 or Larry at 618-839-4570.
