City Of South Gate: Valve Turning And Flushing - February 3rd

Press release from the City of South Gate:

February 3, 2022

The Water Division will be operating valves and flushing fire hydrants on Southern Ave on Thursday, February 3, 2022. The flushing operation will take place at night when our records indicate water demand is at its lowest and will take approximately four (4) hours to complete; between the hours of 10PM to 2AM. Door hangers are being distributed to affected areas.

The area of operation is between Garfield Ave to the west, Karmont Ave and De Palma Street to the east and Luxor Street to the north. The attached map shows the area in more detail.

While all steps have been taken to reduce the chance of a customer experiencing a water discoloration episode, customers in the impacted area are strongly encouraged to not use water during these times to the extent possible.  Should you experience discolored water, we ask that you flush your own house pipes by running faucets for approximately 5 minutes or less.  This should dispel any such discolored water that by small chance got into your house or business water pipes. 

Should you have continued water discoloration after flushing, please call our Public Works Department at 323-563-5790.
