Beulah Residents May Experience Water Issues Today
April 8, 2014
Beulah residents may experience water issues today — including low pressure and discoloration — as ECUA flushes lines.
Flushing will begin at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday and is expected to take several hours.
The flushing activity is in advance of placing a new two million gallon tank in service to enhance the pressure and flow of potable water to customers in the Beulah area. Residents and businesses located in the Beulah area may anticipate some fluctuations in water pressure, and temporary discoloration of the water is possible, as a result of turbulence in the water mains created by the flushing. T
hese effects should be minimal, with absolutely no ill effects to customers’ health and no long-term adverse impacts on the system, according to ECUA. As a precaution, customers may wish to store some water ahead of time for drinking and cooking purposes.
ECUA crews will remain in the area throughout the day on Tuesday, flushing lines if necessary to clear up affected areas. If customers are still experiencing discoloration in their water by late afternoon on Tuesday, they are asked to call (850) 476-0480 for assistance.

I’m sorry I ddin’t get to post this sooner but the issue was resolved fairly quickly- the school did have lowered pressure. Thanks again for bringing it to my attention.
This flushing operation should not be impeding the flow of water to the school. I have radioed the supervisor on site to look into the matter. Will report what we find.
Thank you.
This would be great to do any time not during school hours. It is a shame that Beulah Elementary is having to function without water.
Thanks to this report, the school was able to find out the problem, but was not made aware beforehand.
