🚒 ROUTINE HYDRANT FLUSHING SCHEDULE 💧

Throughout the next two weeks, you may see our firefighters out in the community continuing the routine hydrant flushing. This helps maintain a clean and safe water supply for our community and ensures hydrants are ready when needed during emergencies.

Flushing will be conducted between 8:00 AM–3:00 PM.

You may notice discolored water or lower water pressure during this time — no need to worry! Simply run your faucet until the water clears.

💡 Pro Tip: Avoid doing laundry during hydrant flushing, as discolored water can stain clothing.

📅 Schedule by Ward:
• Week of October 5 → 2nd Ward
(East of Main St. & South of Third St.)

• Week of October 12 → 1st Ward
(East of Main St. & North of Third St.)
