Hydrant Flushing Starts Sunday, April 12 (Updated Schedule)

We flush the water system every spring and fall to remove minerals that accumulate in water mains and improve water flow. Flushing doesn’t affect water safety, but you may want to delay doing laundry to avoid potential discoloration of clothing. Please note the flushing schedule has been revised since the View from the Curb was mailed.
