The City of Akron Water Department is currently conducting a water main flushing program within Fairlawn and the surrounding communities to help maintain the water quality and to increase and evaluate the amount of water available for firefighting.
The Water Department will be flowing hydrants from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM on Sunday through Thursday nights to reduce the inconvenience to the public.
Beginning approximately Thursday, October 4th, the Water Department will begin to flush hydrants in the Fairlawn area.
As discoloration to water is likely to appear, we urge the water users to check their cold water for discoloration prior to drawing water for cooking and for use in automatic washers and dishwashers. If discoloration is found, the water user is advised to discontinue use until water clears. Customers can call the Akron Water Department automated phone system to get a nightly update on streets that are to be flushed by dialing 330-375-2554 and selecting Frequently Asked Questions and follow the prompts. Should the water user have any questions or need assistance, please call 330-375-2420.
