Fire hydrants are flushed to maintain water quality by removing sediment, rust, and mineral deposits from water pipes. This routine maintenance also ensures proper water pressure and verifies that the hydrant functions correctly in an emergency. It further reduces bacterial growth by restoring chlorine levels in the distribution system.

It is recommended that residents refrain from doing laundry while hydrant flushing is occurring in your neighborhood.  Once flushing is completed on your street, please run you cold water to clear out any possible discoloration.

The flushing area corresponds to parts of the Refuse & Recycling Department's Sections 3, 6 & 7.

Streets scheduled to be flushed will be posted daily on the Town's Website www.yorktownny.gov Thank you for your cooperation.
