What is Hydrant Flushing?
Hydrant flushing helps keep the pipes that deliver water to homes and businesses clean and fresh from sediment. Over time sediment and other organic materials can accumulate at the bottom of water pipes. This is why hydrant flushing is very important, to flush out the sediment and bring fresh water into the main lines.
Effects of Hydrant Flushing
While hydrant flushing is taking place you may notice a change of color within your water. You should refrain from washing laundry on the days your street’s hydrants will be flushed. If laundry is to be done, you may have discoloration in your white clothes. It’s important to let your water run a little longer than normal until it’s clear from discoloration.
