Lyon County Utilities to Conduct Water Main Flushing in the Rose Peak Area May 14-15, 2024

Dayton, Nevada – In a systematic approach to improve water quality, Lyon County Utilities will be conducting water main flushing on May 14-15, 2024 in the Rose Peak area (roughly between Flowery Avenue and Sheep Camp Road) in Dayton, Nevada.

During this process, sediment that has collected on the bottom of the water mains may be stirred up causing discolored water. The sediment in the water is the result of the minerals that have settled to the bottom of the water mains during the year. The sediment is not harmful.

Please check the water in your washing machine prior to doing laundry to be sure it is running clear as the discolored water may stain light-colored clothing. You may also experience intermittent low water pressure or no pressure during this time.

Allow for 4-6 hours upon completion of flushing for water to clear up. If after this time it has not cleared, please contact Lyon County Utilities at (775) 246-6220. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
