The Town of Manteo Water and Sewer Department will conduct unidirectional hydrant flushing on the section of Sir Walter Raleigh Street between Uppowoc Avenue and Queen Elizabeth Avenue. They will plan on flushing tomorrow, Tuesday, September 26, 2023 from 3:30 AM to 6:00 AM.
Unidirectional flushing will be used to flush the water main in one direction by closing connected looped water main valves allowing the internal volume of the main to be cleaned more effectively. During the flow testing process, water from the fire hydrants will temporarily accumulate on the roadway, although it should not prohibit passing vehicles from travel.
