Portland Water District’s annual water main maintenance, which began last month, continues in parts of Westbrook, South Portland and Portland.
Maintenance flushing takes place Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Customers may notice short periods of water discoloration, but according to Portland Water District, “this program is essential to maintain water quality and public health.”
Those who experience changes in water quality following maintenance activities or have other concerns can call 761-8310
