London Utility Commission will begin its annual water main/hydrant-flushing program on Monday, August 10, 2026. Water main/hydrant flushing activities will be conducted between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. This program is being undertaken to ensure customers continue to receive the highest quality water.

The 2026 Annual Flushing program should last approximately three to four weeks. During this time, customers may notice episodes of decreased water pressure or discoloration of their water. Water discoloration results from temporary disturbances of the normal water flow within our piping network. These short-term changes in flow can stir up naturally occurring minerals and sediment that settle within the water mains.

The objective of the water main/hydrant flushing program is to remove these accumulated sediments from our pipes by flushing the water out of the fire hydrants. If water discoloration occurs, customers should run their cold-water faucets until the water appears clear. You may contact our office at (606) 864-2103 for more information.
