Annual Water Line Flushing / Hydrant Inspections
Annual Water line Flushing and Fire Hydrant Maintenance:
Durations of Work: November - May weather permitting
Area: All regions served by City water service lines.
The Public Works Maintenance Division will be performing annual cleaning of the City water lines between November and May. This involves opening up the fire hydrants to create high water flow to scour out sediment in the lines. The water is drained into streets near storm drains or rain swales. This work is part of the on-going effort to deliver safe water and keep the lines clear of sediment.
Fire Hydrants and valves are also inspected at the same time to insure working resources for Fire Services.
Signs will be posted in the areas that are currently being flushed.
Watch for crews in the roadway - drive slowly and allow them room to work safely.
If you have any questions please contact the Public Works Maintenance Division at 503–537–1234.
