Jackson MUA to flush

distribution system

The Jackson Township Municipal Utilities Authorities will commence flushing of its distribution system Oct. 20, weather permitting. Temporary slight discolor-ation of the water and/or a decrease of pressure may be experienced as a result of this program. By flushing the system the JTMUA expects to improve the overall quality of water delivered to its customers. It is anticipated that the flushing program will continue for about two weeks. During this period, residents are asked to place garbage and recycling containers behind the curb to avoid obstruction. They will be conducting this operation between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., Wednesday through Friday, in order to minimize the inconvenience to the residents. Details: (732) 928-2222.
