Hydrant Flushing For The City Of Watertown This Week

The Watertown Water Department will flush hydrants this week Monday-Friday starting 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The hydrants on the streets currently under construction will not be flushed at this time. The City suggests customers do not use water during the flushing hours each day, especially not doing laundry, to avoid bringing rusty water into their home's plumbing and staining laundry with rusty water. They also suggest waiting until after 4 p.m. on flushing days to do laundry and check water color before starting. For more information about hydrant flushing or if you experience rusty water, please visit the city website, ci.watertown.wi.us, using the Water Department tab and then click “FAQs & Helpful Hints tab” #13 and/or # 14.
