"While we are flushing you may possibly experience lower pressure than normal and could have a tint in the water. If you use any water in your home during the posted flush times you may draw this water into your plumbing system. Toilets and hot water heaters have tanks that can keep this water around long after we are done. If you continue to have discoloration or cloudy water atter the posted flush has ended, please let the cold water tap in your kitchen run for approximately 3-5 minutes. If the cold water in the kitchen is clear and the hot water and toilets still have a tint, they may require a brief flush. If any of these issues continue after the posted flush times, please call us at 225-925-2011."

A VITAL SIGNS Community Conversation is NOT a presentation to parents. It is a shared learning discussion led by parents, for parents, in support of parents. It’s about coming together to get informed and share questions, concerns, personal experiences and the different bits of wisdom we have all earned along the way. As a VITAL SIGNS facilitator, they will empower you with the tools and resources to start lifesaving conversations with families. Join us on May 16th at 8:30AM at City Hall.
