The
Marin Municipal Water District (aka Marin Water) will clean a segment of Sausalito's water main from Tuesday, February 25 through Thursday, February 27. Each year, Marin Water endeavors to clean 20% of its 109-mile pipeline network, which serves more than 190,000 customers.
Also known as "flushing," water main cleaning is required by the State of California. The process involves the targeted release of pressurized water through select hydrants to scour pipes and remove built-up sediment.
Cleaning is conducted by water district employees, who remove debris, install storm drain covers, and deploy dechlorination tablets prior to the flushing process to manage the discharge.
