Hydrant Flushing Information & Schedule

The hydrants within our Municipal Drinking Water Systems are flushed at a minimum of once per year. Our Infrastructure Services Department flush water mains and test fire hydrants throughout the spring and summer season. 

Please note: This work may cause rust coloured water to appear from taps at or near the area of work. If this occurs, remove the aerator from the tap and let the water run for a few minutes, after which it should run clear. After it is running clear, replace the aerator.
