Hydrant Flushing Schedule For Spring Set In Point Pleasant

POINT PLEASANT, NJ — The Point Pleasant Water Department will begin the spring water main flushing on April 1, borough officials announced.

The flushing will take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and will take six weeks, officials said.

Flushing can cause temporary discoloration of the water. Avoid doing laundry while your water is discolored. Let your cold water run until the water clears, usually about 20 seconds.

Water clarity will return shortly after the flushing is complete, officials said.

Flushing is important to maintain the system performance and water quality, along with ensuring proper function of the hydrants, officials said.

"We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this necessary maintenance," officials said.
