Hydrant flushing takes place in the spring and fall.Spring flushing typically begins the second week of April.

Fall flushing typically begins the second week of October.”Hydrant flushing” is a term we all use, but really, flushing the main water pipes is the goal. Overtime, naturally occurring minerals in our water begin to accumulate in the water mains.

Following an approved uni directional flushing plan created in house, water flows through the pipes to remove the sediment. Discolored water and a reduction in pressure may be present during flushing for a brief time. Care is given to minimize any disruption.
