As part of Roamingwood Sewer & Water’s annual maintenance program, beginning Monday, October 5th 2026, we will be flushing fire hydrants throughout the community to improve water quality and remove sediment or turbidity (cloudiness) from the water lines.
What You Should Do After Flushing Occurs in Your Area:
To clear any discolored water or sediment that may have entered your plumbing system, we recommend the following:
-
Cold Water Faucets: Run each cold water faucet in your home (especially the bathtub and kitchen sink) for 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Washing Machines & Dishwashers: Avoid use until water runs clear to prevent staining or clogging.
-
Refrigerator Water Dispensers: Dispense water for 3 to 5 minutes or until clear.
-
Toilets: Flush a few times to cycle fresh water through.
If discoloration persists after flushing, wait 30 minutes and repeat the steps. The water is safe, but it may appear cloudy or rusty due to stirred-up mineral deposits.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we maintain a clean and reliable water system for our community.

!!! CALL RS&W BEFORE YOU DIG !!!
A message from our Project Manager
As the sewer and water project nears completion, one important fact to realize, as a property owner with an EcoTran basin, is the presence of an underground wire on your property running from the control box to the grinder pump.
If you plan on excavating or performing any renovations that require earth disturbance like an addition or a deck, a mandatory PA1 call must be made, by your contractor, to locate your wire prior to any earth disturbance.
Be advised any damage that occurs to the wire or control box, as the homeowner, you will be financially responsible for the repair costs.
Call: To place a dig or design notification in Pennsylvania, please call 8-1-1 or 1-800-242-1776 (outside PA) or visit: www.roamingwood.com/811
