TOWN OF PUTNAM 2017 SPRING FLUSHING EVENT

Dear Water Customer,

Please be advised that the Town of Putnam WPCA and SUEZ will be conducting its bi-annual hydrant flushing event which takes place annually in the spring and fall. Hydrant flushing is critical to the maintenance of water quality within the water distribution system’s water mains. This event is scheduled to begin on March 31st and flushing will continue throughout the water system for approximately one week. Please see below, the day by day flushing plan with dates and streets that we are planning to be flushing. Please note that during flushing events you will most likely experience periods of discolored water coming out of your taps. It is best that you try to limit water use while flushing is taking place in your area and, flush your water line afterwards by running a cold water faucet in your residence until the water clears. Your water is safe to drink, the discoloration is caused from iron build up in the water lines being flushed out. Remember, flushing your water system is essential in maintaining water quality and preventing iron and manganese build up in the system. Although it may be an inconvenience during flushing, the benefits thereafter are lasting and positive.
