Why am I always encouraged to conserve water when Water Utilities uses up water flushing fire hydrants?
State and Federal governing agencies require the city to flush all dead end water main lines monthly. This is to maintain good water quality. Water Utilities also flushes fire hydrants that are not on a dead end water main. Flushing a fire hydrant circulates the water and brings fresh water to neighborhoods. This flushing ensures a superior quality water arrives at each house and business.
