ORLEANS – The Orleans Water Department started an annual flushing of the water mains in town today, a process that should take about three weeks.
The flushing schedule will be posted daily on the town’s website, www.town.orleans.ma.us, and residents are encouraged to check and see when their property will be affected.
Town officials are asking residents to try and not use water during the flushing.
All flushing will be done from 8 p.m. to 4 p.m.
