City of Central

The City of Central’s Public Works team is hard at work making improvements to our community’s drainage system!

These ongoing projects are part of our commitment to keeping Central safe, resilient, and prepared during heavy rains. Crews are clearing, repairing, and enhancing drainage channels to reduce flooding risks and improve water flow throughout our city.

We appreciate your patience as this important work continues , and we thank our Public Works team for their dedication to protecting homes, businesses, and neighborhoods.

Together, we’re building a stronger Central! 💪

Floods can happen quickly and without much warning. Here are 6 essential tips to help keep you and your family safe.

"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 after 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."
