Hydrant Flushing
The Borough will be flushing all fire hydrants on Wednesday, April 30, 2025 (rain date May 1, 2025). This work will begin around mid-day and will continue until complete, probably early evening. This routine maintenance is conducted to remove settled materials, loose deposits of iron and other depositions from the water mains. This will only be completed if water supplies are adequate at this time.
Customers may notice brief periods of discolored water or low water pressure during the flushing process. It is recommended that customers refrain from clothes washing during hydrant flushing since the iron deposits may stain clothing.
