Anna Maria Island waterlines will be flushed during overnight hours as needed over the next few months, according to the Manatee County Utilities Department.
Flushing is needed this time of year to rinse out stale water and bring chlorine residuals back to standard levels, according to Amy Pilson, Manatee utilities public affairs liaison.
“We are making everyone aware of the flushing so residents are aware of the reasons for the water they see,” Pilson said in a news release.
There are no precautionary boil water notices. Residents need not worry about the safety of the drinking water, Pilson said.
