Watertown Hydrant Flushing

wsld77

The Watertown Water Department began flushing fire hydrants this week. Flushing will continue this week through Friday, from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and the week of May 8th, 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 Watertown Water Dept 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. Please wait 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 ci.watertown.wi.us, using the Water Department tab and then click “FAQs & Helpful Hints tab” #13 and/or # 14. The City thanks residents for their understanding and patience during hydrant flushing, and reminds them that this is a very important part of providing the city with quality water and ensuring fire hydrants are in good working condition.
