HYDRANT FLUSHING WILL BE MARCH 15, 2010 THRU MARCH 26, 2010
Why are hydrants flushed?
Periodically, you will see Public Works personnel releasing water from hydrants. Hydrant flushing is necessary to test the hydrants to make sure they have adequate flow and pressure available. Flushing is also done to remove sediment from the pipes in order to maintain water clarity and quality in the distribution pipes.
Is my water safe to drink after flushing?
YOUR WATER IS SAFE TO DRINK. Occasionally, water becomes discolored after hydrant flushing. If this happens, run your cold tap water for a few minutes until the water clears. If it doesn’t clear the first time, wait a few minutes and run the water again. You should avoid washing clothes until the water clears. |
