Bloomfield Utility Department Hydrant
Flushing Notification
When
is flushing preformed?
Flushing
is scheduled during the summer months and will normally be conducted Monday
through Friday from 7:30am to 3:00 pm.
Why
is flushing performed?
The utility’s annual
fire hydrant flushing program removes minerals and sediment that build up
over time and ensures that all fire hydrants are in good working order.
What
to expect?
Discoloration
or cloudiness are possible following hydrant flushing in your area. Generally, this will clear up by running cold
water for several minutes. Although the water is still considered safe to use
during this time, customers should refrain from doing laundry when water
is discolored.
If you have any
questions or concerns regarding the hydrant flushing process, please contact
the utility department at 262-279-6039.
