Jasper begins annual hydrant maintenance

The Jasper Municipal Water Department will begin flushing fire hydrants around the city on Monday, April 5, 2021, weather permitting.

Flushing hours are from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The spring hydrant flushing will last for the next several weeks until all city hydrants have been flushed. If you should have any questions, please call the Jasper Municipal Water Department at 812-482-5252.

Officials say the water will be safe to drink, however, customers should use their own discretion if doing laundry during this time because clothes may become discolored. Should anyone experience cloudy or colored water, they are asked to run the cold water tab until it clears.
