Hydrant Flushing Set for Oct. 2 in Dexter

The Village of Dexter will perform fire hydrant testing at several locations throughout the village on Oct. 2 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

"As crews flush hydrants, there may be some discoloration of the water," the village said in a press release.

Residents who experience “rust colored” water should run the cold water tap for a few minutes to clear the household pipes. The rust coloring is caused by a natural build up of minerals in the water system.

Residents should avoid washing white clothes during the hydrant flushing.

For more information, call the utility department at 734-426-4572 between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
