For the last few weeks, and for some areas, longer, the Municipal Offices have been receiving reports of discolored water.
These have been reported to Aqua Water and they have been responding by doing spot flushing in affected neighborhoods.
Residents and the Borough have reported to Aqua that as of Thursday, May 2nd, several areas within Califon are still experiencing cloudy and or brownish water. Aqua has advised that to remediate this; they will be performing town-wide flushing beginning Monday, May 6th. Please note that during this town-wide flushing, you may notice a reduction in water pressure as well as temporary discoloration during the flushing. This discoloration, we are advised, is sediment consisting mainly of iron that settles in the pipes. The purpose of doing a flushing is to “flush” this sediment out of the pipe.
Please note Aqua has a Call Center you can report any issues with water at 1-877-987-2782.
