Village Of Sussex : Fall Hydrant Flushing Begins October 11

Press release from the Village of Sussex:

10/04/2021

Fall hydrant flushing will take place the weeks of October 11-15 and October 18-22. 

Flushing removes natural minerals that have settled in the pipes to maintain water clarity and quality in the distribution pipes. It also allows staff to verify the proper operation of hydrants and valves to maintain firefighting capabilities.

Flushing may lead to temporary discoloration of your water. If this happens, open the cold water tap nearest your water meter--usually the basement sink or an outside hose bib--until the water runs clear. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
