Rockville Centre To Flush Hydrants For Week

Rockville Centre, NY — It's a spring cleaning of sorts for the Village of Rockville Centre. Water mains are getting the annual flushing from Wednesday, April 28 to Tuesday, May 4.

What it means for residents and businesses:

People may notice some fluctuation of water pressure and/or discolored (rusty) water to flow from the pipes. Officials from the village say the water is safe to drink, but it could stain laundry.

They advise to hold off on any projects requiring clear water during the entire flushing period.

The water will be both chemically and bacteriologically safe to drink.

Wednesday, April 28th between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m
The area just north of DeMott Avenue.
