MPWC Announce Flushing Of Fire Hydrants
Waterlines April 2017: The Flushing Of Fire Hydrants
The Merchantville-Pennsauken Water Commission’s Spring Flushing Program Will Take Place Sunday Through Thursday Nights Beginning April 2 Through April 13 Between The Hours Of 7:00 And 11:00 p.m.
Hydrant flushing is an important element in our continuous efforts to improve the quality of water in our system. This procedure clears the distribution system of non-harmful sediment that may build up over time, as well as to help us ensure that each hydrant is operating properly for fire-fighting purposes. The MPWC schedules hydrant flushing during night hours to create the least impact on our customers.
