THE MERCHANTVILLE-PENNSAUKEN WATER COMMISSION’S SPRING FLUSHING PROGRAM WILL TAKE PLACE BEGINNING APRIL 12 AND ENDING APRIL 23 BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 7:00 AND 11:00 P.M.

Hydrant flushing is an important element in the continuing program 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. The MPWC schedules hydrant flushing during night hours to create the least impact on our customers.

While we are flushing in your neighborhood, you may experience decreased water pressure and /or temporary discoloration of your water. If discoloration occurs, customers are advised to simply run their cold water for a few minutes until it is clear. Customers are encouraged to check for discolored water before doing laundry.
