As an alert to residents, the Evans Fire Protection District and the City of Evans Operations staff are working to flush out the City's fire hydrant network. This is a routine procedure that is done annually and may result in a little bit of mineral sediment in your tap water. The water may appear discolored but it is PERFECTLY SAFE to drink and use. To clear out the brownish-colored water, simply run your cold water (NOT you hot water) for a few seconds to clear out the mineral sediment.
