Hydrant Flushing Tuesday, May 4th

Posted on: May 4, 2021 - 11:27am

The DPW will be flushing hydrants on the following streets on Tuesday, May 4th:

Manning Street

Stratton Drive

 

Flushing hydrants is an important preventive maintenance activity that verifies proper operation of the hydrant and ensures adequate water flow will be available if the need for firefighting arises.

When hydrant flushing occurs in your community, you may notice slightly discolored water coming from your faucet. If this happens, simply run your cold water tap for a few minutes. This temporary discoloration only affects the appearance of the water – it does not cause a health or safety risk.

If you have any questions, please contact the DPW at 978-562-9333.
