Hydrant Flushing Begins Tuesday

The Wenham Water Department plans to begin flushing fire hydrants next week.

A post on the Town of Wenham website indicates the activity will being Tuesday, April 21 and continue until April 30. Crews will conduct the work between the hours of 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.

It’s possible residents will notice some discoloration in their water as a result of the work.

“The discoloration of the water is only temporary and does not indicate a problem with the water,” a message from the town reads. ”If your water does become discolored, turn on an outside faucet to clear the water line before doing any laundry or cleaning.”

The Water Department will continually monitor the quality of the town’s water throughout the flushing process.
