Spring Hydrant Flushing Under Way

Spring hydrant flushing is under way in West Caldwell. The following notice has been posted on the township's website: 

The West Caldwell Water Department conducts a semi-annual flushing of all fire hydrants in the Township, in the spring and in the fall. The purpose of this program is to remove iron sediment from the water mains in order to alleviate discoloration and reduction of flow, resulting in improved water quality.

Our spring flushing program will commence on Monday, March 26, 2012 at 8:00 PM. We will post our progress daily. If we are flushing in your area, we ask that you simply run your water for a few moments prior to doing any laundry to confirm there is no discoloration.

For Tuesday, March 27, crews will be working in Crossbrook Lane and Forest Avenue areas. Work will be conducted between 8 p.m. and midnight.

Updates will be avilable here.
