Spring Hydrant Flushing Begins April 15
* Hydrant flushing is necessary:
* to help the City maintain its system
* ensures the City provides safe, drinkable water to residents
* the EPA recommends performing hydrant flushing twice a year
* What to expect:
* a slight chlorine taste and smell to the water might be noticeable during the two-week period prior to scheduled flushing. This is normal and poses no health risk
* cloudy or discolored water, or even sediment in water, may be observed for a short period of time. This is normal during hydrant flushing
* open faucets and let the water run to help clear this up
* water will be safe to drink during this time even if it may look different
