Annual hydrant flushing is scheduled to begin on April 1st. 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.
March 5th Update: Flushing has been postponed until a water main leak on Salem Road can be repaired. Once repaired, the usual notification postcards will be mailed to customers approximately 2 weeks before flushing begins and the flushing schedule will be adjusted accordingly.
