The City of Canton will begin flushing fire hydrants starting March 10th and is expected to be completed by mid-April. Flushing will begin in the northeast portion of town, followed by the northwest, and finish in the south.
This work can stir up sediment in the water lines for a short time. It can also temporarily cause low water pressure at your property.
Before washing laundry, please check the color of your water to avoid problems. If your water is discolored, run the COLD water tap for 10 – 15 minutes and it should clear up.
The City of Canton currently operates 203 fire hydrants and flushes them twice per year. Each hydrant is flushed for between 10 minutes and 90 minutes. Hydrant flushing helps to remove sediment from the water mains and verifies that the hydrants are in good working order for the Canton Fire Department.
