Public Notice: Water Line Flushing

Wi******er Municipal Utilities (WMU) will begin water line flushing on Monday, March 30, 2026.

During this time, you may notice fire hydrants being flushed and releasing large amounts of water. This process helps verify proper hydrant operation and removes mineral and sediment buildup from water mains, ensuring we continue to deliver the highest quality water possible.

What to expect:
Customers in areas near the flushing may experience temporary water discoloration due to loosened sediment in the lines. This is normal and does not affect water safety. The water should return to normal within 2–3 hours after flushing is completed.

Important recommendations:

Avoid washing clothes or performing water-sensitive tasks until the water runs clear
Limit or avoid using hot water during this time
Run a cold water faucet for a few minutes to help clear your lines before use

WMU will perform this work as efficiently as possible to minimize inconvenience.

Questions or concerns?
📞 Call (859) 744-5434 during office hours (7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.)
📞 Call (859) 744-6582 after hours

Thank you for your cooperation, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Water Main Break Notice

WMU crews are currently working on a water main break on Old Boonesboro Road. This is affecting the areas of Stoney Brook, Earlymeade, and surrounding neighborhoods.

Residents in these areas may experience low water pressure or a temporary loss of water service while repairs are underway.

It has come to our attention that, as a result of the recent winter weather event, some WMU customers did not receive their utility bills prior to the due date — and in certain cases, did not receive them at all. While WMU processed all bills and submitted them for mailing on schedule, disruptions in mail delivery appear to have impacted timely receipt. Late penalties were automatically applied in accordance with our normal billing procedures. However, we understand the circumstances were beyond our customers’ control. Any customer whose bill was mailed during the period affected by the winter weather will not be responsible for late charges. If a late fee has already been assessed, it will be fully credited back to the customer’s account.



We appreciate our customers’ patience and understanding and we encourage anyone with questions to contact our office for assistance.
