Port Huron residents may see cloudy water over the next few weeks as the city began flushing fire hydrants and water mains. Crews will work weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., covering the area from the Black River to the southern city limits. The process, which includes winterizing hydrants, should wrap up in about four weeks. The city advises running taps for 10–15 minutes if water appears cloudy and avoiding laundry during flushing hours. Questions can be directed to the Utilities Department.
