Lynnfield Water District to flush mains starting May 7
Lynnfield Water District will be Flushing Water Mains
The Lynnfield Water District will be flushing fire hydrants beginning May 7, 2018 through mid-June.
Hydrant flushing is an important preventative maintenance activity, enabling the District to remove sediment or other solids that may collect in the water mains. Flushing also helps to maintain water quality and fire flows in the distribution system.
Flushing may result in temporary water discoloration for a short time, which should dissipate after running the cold water until clear. Discoloration may stain laundry, especially white materials. Residents are asked to check their water prior to doing laundry, and delay doing laundry until any discoloration of the water clears up. Washing a dark load first is recommended after flushing is completed.
