The Sanford Water District flushes its water mains twice a year to clear any build up of iron in the mains.

When your neighborhood is scheduled for flushing, it will be listed on this page.
The Water District also announced this week that their water supply, which comes from large underground aquifers, is in good shape despite the drought, and that customers should feel free to utilize water as normal. No restrictions are in place and none are anticipated.
