Why does the Chino Hills Water Department let water run down the street?
When old pipes are replaced or new ones are installed, the pipes must be disinfected with chlorine before they are connected into the City’s system. After a day or two, water is flushed through the pipes to rinse out the chlorine before the pipes are put into use. In addition, the City regularly runs water through the system to flush lines where stagnant water can collect. This is done to assure high quality to our valued customers.
