Hydrant Flushing Begins this Week

Check the schedule to see when your area will undergo water main flushing.

The Village of Montgomery Public Works Department will be flushing water mains in the Village and unincorporated Boulder Hill Subdivision during the weeks of September 9, 16, and 23, 2013.  This procedure clears sediment from the water distribution lines and helps maintain water quality.

Residents are encouraged to refrain from washing laundry when flushing is done in or near their neighborhoods as the temporarily discolored water may cause laundry staining.  

Residents should also run their cold water taps first to clean out any sediment that may enter the water lines inside the homes.  Public Works crews will flush hydrants from approximately 6:00 am to 6:00 pm daily according to the following schedule:
