Hydrant Flushing

We are happy to announce that hydrant flushing will be reduced on once per year.  This reduction from semi-annual flushing is due to the water treatment plant.  We have yet to detect any manganese in the water leaving the plant and water quality in the distribution system has greatly improved.

Flushing will be done each spring.  Typically flushing is done Monday - Thursday and takes approximately 6 weeks.  The flushing schedule is available online at https://www.topsfieldpublicworks.org/apps/flushing/.

Hydrant flushing will begin on April 17th. We plan to follow the normal route which is posted online at flushing.topsfieldpublicworks.org

Flushing removes sediment from the water mains, identifies hydrants in need of repair and checks system fire flows. Customers will have rust colored or black water while the water mains are flushed and for a period afterwards. The work will be conducted on weeknights from 9 PM until 1 AM to minimize the disruption. We apologize for the inconvenience.

 

May 17th Update: The remainder of the hydrant flushing program has been postponed until May 24th.
