Pierre City Crews Continue Water System Flushing

Palmer says the process has been slower than expected…

Palmer says the flushing will continue until it is complete or it gets too cold to flush water into the streets. Even if the weather holds flushing will be suspended by Christmas and completed in the spring if not finished this fall.
