The Grayson Utilities Commission will begin the process of flushing out city fire hydrants today, and will be continuing through the date of Monday, May 26th. Please note that throughout this period all areas will be affected at some point in time.
While the Utilities Commission flushes the hydrants in your area it may cause discoloration in your water or low water pressure, you are assured that this is a normal occurrence during the flushing.
As always your local Grayson Utilities Commission apologizes for any inconvenience that the flushing may cause when it is active in your area, and warns residents that care should be taken when they are washing laundry during the active flushing in their area.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet – known as the KYTC – is warning Kentuckians of fraudulent text messages impersonating tolling agencies, which feature a suspicious link similar to the KYTC licensing website address.
If you receive one of these texts, do not click the link. Even if the website or link looks like it belongs to KYTC, the text is a scam. KYTC will not send text messages to collect tolls, and we are taking appropriate steps to have the fraudulent websites taken down.
The scam messages warn customers of unpaid tolls, and indicate fees will be incurred if payment is not sent immediately.
If you have provided any personal information, contact your bank immediately. You can also report this to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov, or to the Federal Trade Commission at www.reportfraud.ftc.gov, or visit the Kentucky Office of the Attorney General website, www.ag.ky.gov, to follow their guidance concerning potential identity theft. You can also forward the suspicious message to 7726 (SPAM) to alert your mobile provider as well.
