PSA: City-Wide Fire Hydrant Water Flushing from August 25 through 29

The City of Las Vegas Utilities Department will conduct citywide fire hydrant flushing from Tuesday, August 25 through Friday, August 28, 2026.

Crews will be flushing fire hydrants at various locations throughout the City as part of efforts to address recent taste and odor concerns and improve water quality throughout the distribution system.

During flushing operations, residents may experience temporary low water pressure and/or discolored water. These conditions may occur as water flow through the system disturbs naturally occurring sediment within the lines.

If you experience discolored water, please run cold water from your faucet for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, or until the water runs clear.

Flushing will take place throughout the City during the week, and residents may notice temporary changes in water pressure or appearance as crews move from one area to another.

The City of Las Vegas appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation as Utilities crews complete this important work. The health and safety of our community remain a top priority.

For additional information, please contact the City of Las Vegas Utilities Division at (505) 454-3832 and ask for Travis Martinez.
