Hydrant Flushing Begins
Published on Apr 17, 2023 13:17

It is officially fire hydrant flushing season. Day one of hydrant flushing starts Monday, April 17! Flushing dates are as follows; April 17-21 and April 24-26 & June 9.  City hydrants are flushed regularly to ensure they are in working order for fire protection, and to remove mineral deposits that may accumulate in water mains. Residents are advised that the change in water flow patterns resulting from hydrant flushing may stir up mineral deposits in City water mains.

During hydrant flushing, it is not unusual for residents to periodically experience discolored water and/or pressure changes. During flushing, please check your water for discoloration before running any load of laundry. Flushing is scheduled to take place between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
