Annual hydrant flushing typically begins in the spring for a six-week period between the hours of 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. When flushing occurs in your immediate area, tap water may be temporarily discolored. Run the water for a few minutes to make sure it is clear before using. Also, avoid doing laundry during this time period as sediment may stain clothing.
