If you experience discoloration or loss of pressure, we recommend flushing the service line for 5 to 10 minutes from the meter to your house by opening an outside spigot. This should help protect against discoloration or particles from getting into washing machines, dishwashers, kitchen, and bath faucets. We apologize for the inconvenience. The flushing schedule along with a map can be found on the home page of the Chowan County Website.
