Fire Hydrant Flushing

Fire hydrant flushing
is done to remove any sediment or stagnant
water from the distribution system and to test
fire hydrant operation.
These steps are being taken to improve the overall water quality within
the Winterport distribution system and to insure the delivery of the
highest quality of water possible. The Winterport Water District will be
flushing water mains during the daytime hours during the spring and fall. Be aware that this procedure may cause some disturbances and
discoloration in the water system. Customers in low-pressure areas may
experience a further drop in pressure.
The
staff and the trustees of the Winterport Water District appreciate
your patience and understanding during this time. If you have any
questions or need further information, please feel free to call our office
at 223-5028.
