Sewer flushing underway in east Meadow Lake
City crews have begun flushing sanitary sewer mains on the east of Meadow Lake, part of a three-week preventative maintenance program aimed at keeping the system running efficiently.
The work started Thursday and will continue daily until completion, according to a notice issued by the City of Meadow Lake.
“This is a regular preventative maintenance activity that must be conducted to ensure the sewer system is operating efficiently,” the city stated. “Every effort will be made to minimize the disruption and inconvenience to residents in the area.”
The process involves using a high-pressure nozzle to flush water through the sewer system, while debris such as grease, grit and sand is removed via vacuum truck.
