Veolia Water to Flush Hydrants in Susquehanna Township This Week
Veolia Water has announced that it will conduct fire hydrant flushing in Susquehanna Township this week. The flushing process starts on February 3 and will continue through Friday. Residents in the area should be prepared for some changes in their water quality.
Impact on Residents
During the flushing period, locals may notice discolored water and temporarily reduced water pressure. To minimize any inconvenience, residents are advised to avoid doing laundry between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. each day when flushing is in progress.
Importance of Fire Hydrant Flushing
- Removes sediment and deposits from the water system.
- Maintains overall water quality.
- Tests the performance of the water distribution system.
- Ensures that fire protection systems are functional.
- Prevents the decay of disinfectants used in water treatment.
Veolia emphasizes that regular fire hydrant flushing is a crucial maintenance practice. It protects public health and ensures the efficient operation of the water distribution system.
Additional Measures
In addition to flushing, salt trucks will be deployed on local roads to manage icy conditions caused by the water during cold temperatures. Veolia Water is committed to keeping the community informed and safe during this maintenance period.
