Spring Hydrant Flushing In Holliston This Week

HOLLISTON, MA—Here's why you'll be seeing water running down the street (aside from the rain). Holliston is continuing its spring hydrant flushing this week on Thursday, June 8, and Friday, June 9, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Here are the streets on tap for a flushing:

Prospect Street
Marked Tree Road
Greenview Drive
Carlton Drive
Webster Drive
Wilkins Road
Pearl Street
Smithhurst Drive
Robin Hill Road

Residents may experience discolored water or lower than normal pressure as hydrants are flushed. If you experience discolored water, flush your system by opening cold water faucet for a few minutes. If the water is still not clear the flushing procedure should be repeated in an hour. During periods of discoloration, postpone washing clothes and limit your use of hot water until the cold water clears. Please note that if your area is not actually being flushed that day, you may still experience discolored water.

Flushing is necessary to improve water quality and ensure proper hydrant operation. We attempt to schedule flushing in a manner that minimizes customer disruptions.
