Maintaining Jack Turner Dam is essential to protecting our community and its drinking water supply. One key part of that work is flushing the drains, which removes sediment, mineral buildup, and debris that can slow or block water flow within the dam’s drainage system. Regular flushing helps ensure proper drainage, manage internal water pressure, spot potential issues early, and extend the life of this critical infrastructure. Through proactive inspections, preventive maintenance, and dedicated engineering oversight, RWR’s Water Supply Division remains committed to the long-term safety and reliability of Jack Turner Dam.
