Fall Hydrant Flushing

When:

Fall Hydrant Flushing will take place November 1, 2024 through November 15, 2024 from 9pm - 5am each night.

This semi-annual flushing is done to remove sediments from the system and helps to ensure proper water pressure. During this time, you may experience some low pressure or water discoloration, especially when flushing takes place in your neighborhood. The discoloration is from iron, which is naturally present in water and builds up deposits along the inside of our water pipes. During flushing, chlorine residuals will be raised in order to assure safe water quality throughout the distribution system. It poses no threat to your health.

  
Once the hydrant flushing is complete, the water quality will return to normal.  We schedule hydrant flushing in the evening to avoid as much inconvenience as possible to our residents. The city will make an effort each day to promote the approximate location of where the flushing will take place that night on our website and on social media.
If you have questions regarding information on hydrant flushing please call the Water Transmission Department at 431-5694.
