Hydrant Flushing Begins in Manomet This Week

During the week of April 30, the Plymouth Water Division will be flushing hydrants in the Pine Hills pressure zone and the Manomet pressure zone. After the Pine Hills zone is completed, the hydrants in the Ocean Aire subdivision and State Road from Indian Hill Road south the Mayflower Road and the side streets will be flushed.

All flushing will begin at 7:30 a.m. and continue as late as 8 p.m. The Water Division estimates that flushing the Pine Hills will require two days and the Manomet Zone will require three weeks.

Flushing of the Cedarville Zone will begin May 28, and will conclude the seasonal flushing.

The Pine Hills zone encompasses State Road to the crest of the Pine Hills, Rocky Hill Road up to house number 231, Bay Shore Drive and their side streets.

The Manomet zone encompasses areas along State Road from the crest of the Pine Hills south to house number 1645 and all the side streets.

Customers may notice a severe drop in pressure while the hydrants are flowing.

Customers are advised that some discoloration of the water may occur if you draw water while we are flushing near your home. If this occurs you should wait until we are out of the area and then run cold water from the faucet nearest to the water meter for several minutes and it should clear up.

As a precaution, customers are urged to check their water for discoloration prior to washing laundry. Should a load of laundry be stained by rusty water, contact the Water Division office for recommended cleaning instructions.
