PIERRE — City of Pierre Water Department workers continue to make progress on flushing the city’s water system in preparation for a new drinking water treatment plant next year. Project Manager Gidget Palmer says three zones have been fully flushed…
Palmer says Zone Four is in the east and east central parts of Pierre…
Palmer says the city’s AlertSense system seems to be letting residents know when the flushing is getting to their neighborhoods…
The city will flush the water system while the weather permits until the system is completed or through Christmas. A similar flushing process will be used next fall when Pierre’s new water treatment plant is ready for production of treated Missouri River water to flush the current well water out of the water distribution system.
