Putnam PSD 2016 System Flushing

Putnam Public Service District will be flushing water lines in its service area during the months of April & May 2016. Flushing of water lines is performed in order to clean out distribution pipelines and remove any impurities or sediment that may be present in the pipe. Additionally, flushing gives District staff the opportunity to inspect the condition and pressure of the fire hydrants in the water distribution system. Routine annual flushing is in accordance with the West Virginia Bureau of Public Health recommendations and Putnam PSD is in full compliance with all recommendations and requirements from state and federal regulatory agencies.

During the time that the District is flushing lines, you may experience some turbidity or cloudiness in your water during and immediately after flushing takes place in your neighborhood. If your water is discolored, do not use for drinking, cooking, or laundry. If you encounter discolored water, run a faucet until it clears and, if the discoloration continues, call the District office at 304-757-6551. A precautionary 24-hour boil water advisory will be in place for water to be used for drinking or cooking while our crews are flushing in your area.

  Updates on the status of the system flushing project, including but not limited to upcoming locations, problems encountered, notes on boil water advisories, photos, and videos, will be regularly posted on the District’s website & social social media accounts. The progress can be tracked by visiting flushing.putnampsd.com and bookmarking it in your favorite web browser on any computer, smartphone, or tablet. Information will also be posted on Facebook and twitter (@PutnamPSD) with supplementary information being posted to Instagram (@PutnamPSD). Links to all of these resources can be found at PutnamPSD.com.

System rerouting north of exit 39

In preparation for some upgrades on Wednesday, a portion of our water distribution system will be rerouted to feed from a different storage tank than usual. In doing so, some valves will be turned off or on and, much like during our annual system flushing, this may result in water discoloration or low pressure for some of our customers. If you live or work in the area of WV34 north of exit 39, N. Poplar Fork Rd., Cow Creek Rd., or Erwin Rd. and experience any such problems, please do not hesitate to call our water plant at 304-757-6509 to report the issue(s).
