“Any discoloration caused by the flushing operation will be of short duration and will not affect the quality or safety of the water,” officials said.

The hydrant flushing began on April 10 and will continue for about six weeks between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Flushing will begin in the vicinity of Broadway Road and proceed up Dayton towards Davidson’s Mill Road. Flushing will then continue in Monmouth Junction and Route 1 areas. After crossing Route 1, the flushing operation will move from Kingston through Kendall Park to Brunswick Acres.

The high service area consisting of Wood Gate, High Gate and Princeton Manor will be last to be serviced, officials said.
