Fire Chief Perry Westmoreland said that the flushing process on some 112 hydrants could result in muddy water temporarily.
“Citizens may want to check the color of their water before washing a load of clothes,” Westmoreland said.
The flushing process is an annual event, but Westmoreland said the discoloring of water may not be as severe as in years past since many of the lines have been replaced with PVC pipe.
Westmoreland said that some areas east of College Avenue between the water plant and the west part of Snyder also could be affected.
The new pipe is a result of water line main replacements the past several years.
The fire chief said it would take from 12 to 24 hours for the water to clear up after hydrants are flushed.
