Hydrant Flushing Starts Monday

The city’s hydrant flushing and testing program starts today.

The water utilities department plans to flush the Cuyahoga Falls water system weekdays, during the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. This effort, which runs through June 30, will remove sediment and iron deposits from the water mains and provides an update on the status of each hydrant.

The city would like to remind residents that they may notice a discoloration of water, but it’s still safe to drink. However, it may affect laundry.

Signs will be posted to notify residents and motorists when hydrant in town will be flushed. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact the Water Department at 330-971-8005.
