This month the water utilities of Archdale, Burlington, Greensboro, High Point, Jamestown, Randleman, Reidsville, and the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority will end their routine water quality preventative maintenance program. This procedure, which started back in December of 2023, is used to maintain and optimize the water quality in the City’s drinking water distribution system. Starting April 20th, the City of Reidsville will switch from chlorine back to chloramines, which is a federal and state standard disinfectant for drinking water. This process will take about five days. During this time, some users may notice temporary taste or odor differences. This is a normal part of the transition, which does not adversely impact the water quality. Both chlorinated and chloraminated water are safe for drinking, cooking, and other general uses. Specialized industries such as medical facilities offering kidney dialysis, fish tank and pond owners, and some businesses that use water in their production process should take precautions that may require filtration and treatment system adjustments. These customers will be contacted directly. As a part of this process, during the week of April 22-26, 2024, the water distribution system will be flushed. Residents may notice discolored water and reduced water pressure during this time. If you experience discolored water, please allow the cold water tap to run for 5-10 minutes until the water clears. Residents are cautioned to check for discoloration particularly prior to using their washing machines. If you see continued discoloration of water please call 336-349-1070. After 3:30 p.m., please call 336-634-3300.

The Reidsville Parks and Recreation Gym at 201 North Washington Avenue will be closed beginning Monday, April 15, 2024, for renovations to the gymnasium floor. The closure is expected to continue through May 15th. Earlier in the year the City of Reidsville was fortunate to receive a State Budget appropriation of $300,000 to make some recreational facility improvements, thanks to the efforts of Senator Phil Berger Sr. and Representative Reece Pyrtle. Part of that money, $135,000, was designated to install a new floor at the Rec gym. During the month that the gymnasium will be closed, the company Floor Action Inc. will be taking out the existing maple hardwood flooring and putting down new maple hardwood. “The gym has been a staple in the local community for many years,” said the City’s Assistant City Manager of Community Services Haywood Cloud Jr. “The gym is extremely popular among all of our basketball leagues and other programming areas. We are very excited about these upgrades and will be ready to welcome our residents back when they are completed.” The rest of the State allocation will go towards refurbishing some of the tennis courts and creating new pickleball courts, both of which are located at Jaycee Ballpark.

Beginning on or about April 1st, the City of Reidsville will undertake a project to flush out the pipes from the public water system. The City has retained the firm of HydroMax USA to perform unidirectional flushing (UDF) of the system, which is designed to rid those lines of sediment and other minerals that can discolor Reidsville’s water. The City last performed a UDF of the system in the Fall of 2018. The goal of unidirectional flushing is to progressively flush the water system beginning at the point of entry for the water and working outwards to the edges of the system. This provides an efficient method of performing the work and helps prevent disturbed sediment from circulating through the system, thereby, minimizing discolored water episodes. In order to perform this work, the City has been divided into 14 zones to be flushed. Each zone will take multiple days to complete. Currently the City’s Public Works officials are awaiting the detailed flushing schedule from the contractor HydroMax. Once the schedule is in hand, door hangers will be used to give residents 48-hour notice  of when these activities will be occurring in their neighborhoods. Details will also be made available on the City’s website, reidsvillenc.gov. It is anticipated that the flushing will run through May 31st. Please note that local discoloration may occur in the zones being flushed. However, once a zone has been flushed, there should be minimal customer service issues as the project is completed. While the flushing is going on in their area, residents should check their water for any discoloration before doing laundry. Residents who require clear water for existing medical conditions should consider obtaining bottled water prior to the start of flushing operations in their neighborhood. For additional information, please contact City of Reidsville Project Engineer Richard Vaughn at 336-347-2316.
