Village Voice: Fire hydrant flushing July 27-31
Village Voice
In the coming weeks, you may see Village Water and Street Department crews working on fire hydrants throughout the village.
A sign that this work is going on may be water running down the street. If you happen to encounter the running water, please steer clear of the stream, regardless if you are in a car, on a bike or on foot.
Flushing the water hydrant system is a routine maintenance activity.
Over time, sediment deposits may accumulate in the complex water system. These deposits are naturally occurring, and are a result of the minerals in water reacting with the inside of the water pipes.
When these deposits build up, the volume of water flow may be affected. Flushing the system helps remove these deposits.
Residents may experience a temporary discoloration of their water while the hydrants are being flushed.
The discoloration is not harmful to residents; it is primarily silt and air. If you do experience discolored water after crews have flushed the hydrants in your area, shut the water off and wait several minutes.
You must flush your system to remove any discolored water you have brought into your system. After flushing, check the clarity. Your water clarity should improve after clearing your lines in this manner. You may experience discolored water until you have adequately flushed your system.
The Village crews are scheduled to begin hydrant flushing the week of July 27th-31st, and the project may be extended if warranted.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contract the Water Office at 419-634-4045.
