Spring Hydrant Flushing 6.12.23 - 6.14.23

NOTICE OF SPRING HYDRANT FLUSHING

Cavendish Municipal Water System

Monday, June 12th, through Wednesday, June 14th, 2023

During the hours of 9 am to 5 pm

System users are reminded that:

Flushing hydrants may cause temporary discoloration and turbidity of the water.  We apologize for any inconvenience to our users, however this very important system maintenance procedure must be conducted each spring and fall.  The flushing program allows the pipes to be purged and the hydrants checked for proper operation.

Users are advised to avoid drinking the water or washing clothes (especially whites) while discoloration is in evidence.  Following hydrant flushing in your area, users should run cold water until it clears before resuming normal use.  It is also a good idea to flush residential water heaters after the water clears following a hydrant flush in your area.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Cavendish Municipal Water System
