We have had some beautiful weather this autumn – but, unfortunately, in recent weeks the sun has shined mainly on weekdays and rain has fallen on the weekends. Regrettably, the weather forecast also looks dreary for the approaching weekend, and that may negatively impact the events we have planned during the days ahead, including our annual Halloween Parade and Halloween Dance Party tomorrow night (Friday, October 20).

HYDRANT FLUSHINGE
Regular Maintenance Ensures Reliability
During the months of October and November, the Sea Isle City Water Department will be flushing-out the water distribution system through the fire hydrants and exercising water valves throughout town. If a hydrant is being flushed near your home or business, we encourage you to 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. Semi-annual hydrant flushing is required to ensure that hydrants and the water distribution systems are functioning properly and can provide the proper drinking water quality (thus providing adequate water flow when needed). This is also a requirement of the Water Quality Accountability Act. For additional information, please phone 609-263-6000 (ext. 11) or email: dteefyjr@seaislecitynj.us.
