2026 Spring Flushing Information

If you are served by the Chowan County Water Department please note the following:

On Monday March 16^th Chowan County Water Department will began flushing 300 miles of water mains in phase 1, to ensure that our customers receive high quality water. Flushing will occur Monday through Friday during the hours of 7 A.M. to 3 P.M. Flushing will occur in three phases with one phase being flushed each week. Phase 1 includes areas east of Highway 32 and north of Highway 17, Phase 2 includes areas west of Highway 32 and north of Highway 17 and Phase 3 which is all areas south of Highway 17. This will NOT impact the Town of Edenton Water customers. On Monday March 23rd they will begin Phase Two and on Monday March 30^th they will move into Phase Three. All flushing will be completed by April 3rd.

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.
