Fire Hydrant Flushing

October 7, 2025

The City’s fire hydrants will be flushed in stages over an expected two-week period. Work will take place from 8:30pm-5:30am, beginning on Sunday, October 19 and will continue through October 30, 2025. Limited disruptions to service and reductions in pressure will be minor. Expect to see water in the roads the mornings following flushing. You may experience lower than normal water pressure and a short period of water discoloration during hydrant flushing and shortly thereafter. Though the water may be discolored, it is safe to drink. However, until the water runs clear, it is advisable to avoid washing clothes, especially white fabrics. Simply run the cold water in your house or at a hose until it is clear. This will flush any discolored water out of your service line.
