Easton Utilities Begins Annual Flushing Program

August 23, 2024 by The Spy Desk

The water main flushing program is conducted by Easton Utilities on an annual basis and scheduled to begin in late August throughout the service territory. “The flushing program allows us to determine if there are any issues in our water system infrastructure so Easton Utilities can continue delivering high quality water,” stated Jake Bryan, Water and Wastewater Supervisor for Easton Utilities.

The annual flushing program consists of opening certain hydrants in brief intervals to flush out sediment that may have collected in water mains over the past year. This enhances the long-term water quality, confirms adequate fire flows, and identifies possible malfunctions in the hydrants and system valves.

Customers in the immediate areas affected will be notified via a robocall several days in advance. To reduce the possibility of any inconvenience to customers, crews will work each night, Sunday through Thursday (excluding holidays), from 10 pm until 6 am. During the flushing of the water mains, there may be a temporary reduction of water pressure or some discoloration in the tap water. This discoloration condition is not harmful and can be addressed quickly by running cold water until it is clear after the flushing in the immediate area is complete. We also suggest not washing clothes during these operations.

For further information, please visit https://eastonutilities.com/annual-flushing-program/ or call 410-822-6110. We appreciate your cooperation as we work to maintain our water distribution system.

Easton Utilities is a community-owned, not-for-profit utility and telecommunications company operating the Electric, Natural Gas, Water, Wastewater, Cable Television, and Internet services for the Town of Easton and portions of the surrounding area. Please visit www.eastonutilities.com or call 410-822-6110 to learn more.
