The town of Bethany Beach will flush water lines between Monday, April 11, and Friday, April 15, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The town flushes its water system twice a year — spring and fall — to rid the system of any accumulated sediment for highest quality water and to ensure that fire hydrants are operating properly in case of an emergency.

During the time the flushing is being performed property owners may find that their water is discolored. Water should return to normal within a few hours. It is recommended that no laundry be done during the flushing periods to prevent discoloration.
