When: Fall 2025 (Scheduled to commence September 29, 2025).
Where: From Narragansett Park Dr. to Newman Ave. and from Don Ave. to Roger Williams Ave. and surrounding areas.
What: Flushing or cleaning in water distribution systems is the process of expelling water through fire hydrants to remove sediments that may have built up over time.
Why: Hydrant flushing is performed within water distributions systems on semi-annual basis to remove sediment build-up and thereby improve the water quality. Customers in flushing may experience discolored water and lower than normal water pressure. Allow your cold water to run for a short time to clear lines. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Crews will perform flushing during normal business and evening hours.
