Village Of Montgomery Schedules Hydrant Flushing For September

Press release from the Village of Montgomery:

Posted on: August 10, 2020

The Village of Montgomery Public Works Department crews will be flushing water mains in the Village and unincorporated Boulder Hill Subdivision during the weeks of September 14, September 21 and September 28, 2020. Flushing may take additional time depending on weather and unforeseen circumstances. This procedure clears sediment from the water distribution line, helps maintain water quality, and verifies proper operation of fire hydrants.

Residents are encouraged to refrain from washing laundry when flushing is being performed in or near their neighborhood, as temporary discolored water may cause laundry staining. Residents should also run their cold-water taps, with strains removed, first to clean out any sediment that may enter the water lines inside the homes. Public Works crews will flush hydrants from approximately 7:00 am to 6:00 pm daily according to the following schedule:

Week of September 14th: Areas east of Orchard Road to Hill Avenue (includes Parkview Estates) and north of Route 30 (Seasons Ridge) up to Ashland Avenue.

Week of September 21st: In unincorporated Boulder Hill, South of Route 30 to Circle Drive West and from Route 25 to Douglas Road; within the Village of Montgomery, Lakewood Creek West, Fairfield Way, and Foxmoor. (Boulder Hill Subdivision will take approximately 2 weeks to flush)

Week of September 28th: Subdivisions west of Orchard Road to Big Bend Road and from Galena Road to Jericho Road, including Montgomery Crossings, Lakewood Creek, Blackberry Crossing, Blackberry Crossing West, Huntington Chase, Balmorea, Orchard Prairie North, and Saratoga Springs.

If you have any questions about the hydrant flushing program, please contact Public Works (630) 896-9241.
