During the week beginning April 2, 2018 the Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board crews will continue routine maintenance flushing of water lines within its distribution system in Empire. Flushing of water lines will be from Lakeshore Drive south to Fulton Avenue and Empire Boulevard east to Radar Road. Flushing will begin in the morning each day about 7:30 a.m. and end at approximately 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. In some locations flushing may begin earlier in the morning and end earlier in the afternoon. Customers within the affected areas may experience periods of reduced pressure and may notice a discoloration of the water during these flushing periods. Customers should avoid doing laundry if their water appears discolored. If the discoloration does not clear up promptly, please notify the Water Board at (541) 267-3128.
