In late November when the city of Pocomoke posted notification about its installation project to replace all water meters with radio read meters it stated: "Following installation of the new meter, the contractor will instruct the customer on how to flush the water system." However, issues with clogged lines have occurred following new meter installation. Please note the following from the City:
PREVENT CLOGGING OF WATER LINES IN YOUR HOME AFTER NEW WATER METER INSTALLATION
"After the replacement of your meter, it is necessary to cleanse your home's system by allowing the cold water to flow from the bathtub for a minimum duration of 30 seconds. We advise this precautionary measure as running water through alternative water lines prior to usage may result in the obstruction of screens in sinks, washers, ice makers, and other appliances. This obstruction can occur due to sediment present in the lines, which may accumulate during the process of restarting the line following meter installation. "
