Water Main Flushing starts Monday

Water Main Flushing plans beginning Monday, October 12th

Water Main (Hydrant) Flushing Program: To improve water quality and minimize discoloration, City of Madison water mains are comprehensively flushed by a technique known as unidirectional flushing. The procedure is performed in warm-weather months and involves the systematic opening and closing of hydrants, one section of main at a time, to force the water through the pipes at high velocity, removing accumulated mineral sediment until the water is clear. Flushing operations may also lead to discolored water if the water is being used during or immediately following the flushing. Find out more on our water main flushing information page.
