Important information for businesses/buildings reopening
As buildings reopen, businesses, schools, and property management teams will be opening areas that have been empty or underused. Properly flushing plumbing is essential before reoccupying any spaces that have been un-used for the last 6 to 8 weeks.
Flushing water lines and water-using appliances is an easy way to ensure that high water quality is maintained. Flushing moves older water that has been sitting in the pipes out of the building and brings in fresh water. Flushing is easy and HWU has made the process easy to understand with the release of the following infographic.
Any questions, please feel free to contact us at 270.826.2421.
