Alderman Klee
The Finance Report, that came a few weeks ago.
Alderman Laws
My mistake then.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
But | think the e-mail said something to the effect that we should bring it with you, | just didn’t read the e-mail
until | got here.
Alderman Klee
It’s actually, | meant to mention it at the Pennichuck Water Meeting that | was at, but the flushing of the
hydrants has started and people are calling about the brown water or making comments to it on the Civic
Sounding Board. | just wanted to remind everybody that the process is for about 10, 15, 20, minutes run your
cold water, only your cold water, don’t use a faucet that has a filter on it like your sink, but multiple faucets.
This will clear it up. It’s just through the flushing process; we do not have a brown water issue. And everybody
who that had this problem, when | gave them that advice, got clear water. If it doesn’t clear up, Pennichuck
has asked that people contact them at 603 882 5191. I’ve been giving this number out, | have it memorized.
They will come and they will flush out anything that needs to be done. But the 20 minutes has fixed it for
everybody so thank you. 603 882 5191.
Alderman O’Brien
Just to submit the reason you were 100% correct the reason you want to run the cold only, you don’t want it in
your hot water tank. So that’s why you never turn on the hot tap just flush it out with the cold and it will be
adequate.
