Danvers Annual Hydrant Flushing Begins Next Week

DANVERS, MA — The annual Danvers water system flushing program begins next week and runs for the next five weeks.

The Water Division will begin water system flushing on Monday beginning near the Middleton line. Crews will then work southeast across the town over five weeks toward Danversport.

Flushing helps clear sediment, check hydrant flow for firefighting, and improve overall water quality.

Work will occur during daytime, evening, and occasional early-morning hours.

Residents can track daily progress on our real-time map here.

Residents may notice temporary water discoloration. If this happens, run cold water from a tub or highest faucet for about 15 minutes.

If it doesn't clear, wait 30 minutes and try again.

Those with questions can call the Water Division at 978‑762‑0235 or go here for more information.
