Discolored Water In Manalapan? Could Be Hydrant Flushing

MANALAPAN, NJ — Manalapan Township has announced that the spring flushing of fire hydrants will take place over the next several weeks.

Flushing fire hydrants removes minerals and sediment that have accumulated over time and ensures that all fire hydrants are in good working order, officials said.

During the flushing, residents may experience a difference in water pressure and discoloration of the water, officials said. Run the cold-water tap only until it runs clear if it is discolored.

Any questions should be directed to the Gordon's Corner Water office at (732)-946-9333.
