We schedule our flushing program during our wetter months when water supplies are more plentiful. We flush from larger mains first, then move to smaller mains. The flushing route is carefully planned, and valves are opened and closed to control the direction of the water flow.

What should I do when I see City crews flushing hydrants in my area?

If you see a crew flushing a hydrant on your street, avoid running tap water, your washing machine or the dishwasher until the flushing is done. If you see hydrant flushing crews working in the area, please drive carefully and treat them like any other construction crew. DRIVE SAFELY.

What should I do after the flushing?

• If the tap water is used during flushing, it could come out full of sediment and discoloration.
