The Whitewater Water Utility flushes hydrants in the spring and fall each year to make sure they are in good working order and to help flush sediment out of the distribution system, which delivers clean, safe water to our residents. Public service announcements will be made several weeks before flushing.
Flushing of water mains is necessary to test the hydrants to make sure adequate flow and pressure is available. It also confirms the fire hydrants and valves are operating correctly. In addition, it enhances water quality by removing sediment from the pipes in order to maintain water clarity and quality in the distribution pipes.
Questions my be directed to the Water Utility at 262-473-0560.
