Residents of St. Martin Parish Waterworks District #4 (Catahoula Water System):

We continue to address water discoloration in specific areas of the distribution system. Many areas have cleared up.

Those areas with continued signs of discoloration were flushed today and will be flushed throughout the weekend. You may notice water crew personnel flushing lines in your area.

If you are experiencing discoloration issues, please open the exterior faucet farthest from your water meter to flush your lines, and after doing so, flush the lines internally by opening several faucets within your home.

The expectation of the continued source line flushing throughout the weekend should provide relief to the current discoloration in those specific areas.
