FIRE HYDRANT FLUSHING

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS

TOWN OF PITTSVILLE
FIRE HYDRANT FLUSHING

Please be advised that the Town of Pittsville will be flushing all Fire Hydrants from August 27th thru August 31st.

We flush water lines through the use of hydrants, which is an important preventive maintenance activity. Although it may appear to waste water, the process is part of a routine maintenance program necessary to maintain the integrity of the water system allowing us to continue to deliver the highest quality water possible to our customers.

As a result of the line flushing process, residents in the immediate vicinity of the work may experience temporary discoloration of their water. This discoloration consists primarily of harmless silt and air and does not affect the safety of the water. If you experience discoloration in your water after crews have been flushing in your neighborhood, clear the pipes in your home by running your water faucets in your home a few minutes. We recommend using the tub or outside faucet.

If you require additional information, please contact the Town Office/Water Department.

Thank you.
