Hydrant Flushing 2023

The Public Works department will perform the annual Hydrant Flushing Program beginning June 12, 2023 through June 27, 2023. The Program will be performed during the daytime hours of 8:00 am-3:00 pm. Please DO NOT WASH LAUNDRY during the flushing hours, as rust staining of clothing may result. Residents with water softeners are encouraged to check the cycle time of their softeners so that the unit does not regenerate during this period.

Hydrant flushing is routine maintenance that:

Improves water quality - Flushing removes minerals such as iron and magnesium that collect in the water mains.

Improves water flow - By removing these minerals, the inside diameter of a water main is increased, allowing a better flow of water.

Hydrant maintenance - A fire hydrant is a mechanical device. Operation of a hydrant lubricates internal mechanisms and gaskets.

Hydrant inspections - Any deficiencies are noted and repaired as necessary to insure that each hydrant will perform when needed for an emergency.
