Village of Johnsonville Water Department to begin hydrant flushing April 29

FAIRFIELD — The Village of Johnsonville Water Department announced it will begin its annual hydrant flushing program on Monday, April 29. The process is expected to continue for approximately two weeks.

Residents in the affected areas may experience temporary disruptions in water service, including periods of low water pressure or discoloration. The water department advises residents to check their water clarity before use, particularly for laundry, as discolored water can stain fabrics.

Hydrant flushing is a routine maintenance procedure that helps maintain water quality by removing sediment and mineral buildup from the distribution system. This process also allows the department to test the functionality and flow rates of the hydrants, ensuring they are ready for emergency use.

The Village of Johnsonville Water Department recommends that residents who experience persistent discoloration or pressure issues after the flushing period has concluded contact their office for assistance.
