The City of Dayton has announced routine water system maintenance scheduled for this week, which may cause some customers to notice temporary changes in water pressure or discoloration.

Crews will be flushing hydrants and inspecting lines as part of the city's regular maintenance program. The work is expected to take place over two days during business hours.

"This is routine maintenance that helps keep our water system in good shape," a city utilities official said. "If you notice discolored water, run your cold tap for a few minutes and it should clear up."

The city said the water remains safe to use throughout the maintenance period. Customers with questions can contact the Dayton Water Department directly.
