Why Flushing?
Fire hydrant flushing is done to remove any sediment or inactive water from the distribution system and to test fire hydrant operation. These steps are being taken to improve the overall water quality within the distribution system and to ensure the delivery of the highest quality water possible.
Flushing Tips!
- Switch water softeners to "bi-pass" mode.
- Avoid laundry during flushing times; discolored water may stain clothes.
- After flushing, run a cold water tap for 2-3 minutes to clear any discoloration. If issues persist, repeat after 1 hour.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated as we work together to keep our community's water supply clean, safe, and reliable!
