Grand ledge residents experienced periods of low water pressure and discolored water this past week because of the annual flushing of the city’s water mains. The Department of Public Services finds it necessary each year to flush out the city water mains to reduce the amount of mineral build up in the city’s water. This process takes one week to complete. Larry LaHaie, the city’s public service director, said Grand Ledge gets its water from wells and the groundwater contains fairly high levels of iron. The iron naturally occurs as a result from the bedrock that the water is drawn from, he said.
