UPDATE: The Alligator Road Flushing Initiative will be postponed until further notice.
FLORENCE, SC – In a continued effort to address system water discoloration issues, the City of Florence Utilities Department, upon the advice of consulting engineers, is initiating a flushing initiative in areas experiencing persistent water discoloration issues. Because of the size of the area, crews have divided it into sections for systematic flushing that will continue each evening until complete. Starting on Monday, August 5, 2024, with the potential of continuing through Wednesday night, work will commence on Alligator Road each evening from 9:00 pm to 03:00 am.
During this period, customers will experience temporary low water pressure as crews utilize high-pressure methods to scour the lines of iron sediment buildup to minimize future water discoloration concerns.
For any concerns or questions regarding this notice, please contact the City of Florence Utilities Department at (843) 665-3236.
