HYDRANT FLUSHING
|
Semi-Annual Flushing
Operations Underway
During the months of April and May, Sea Isle City's Water Department will flush-out the water distribution system through the fire hydrants throughout town. Semi-annual hydrant flushing is required toensure that hydrantsand the water distribution systems are functioning properly and can provide the proper drinking water quality (thus providing adequate water flow when needed).If a hydrant is being flushed near your home or business, we encourage youto avoid using washing machines, dishwashers or other water using devices during flushing operations. Residents can expect very little disruption in their water service - if any. However, low water pressure and possible water discoloration may occur. In the event of discoloration, simply allow water to run from the tap for a short while until clear. These conditions are not harmful and are usually short term. For additional info, phone 609-263-6000 (ext. 11) or email:
