Glen Cove May Soon Notice Discoloration In Water Supply

Glen Cove residents may notice some pressure fluctuation and discoloration in their water supply while the Glen Cove Water Department conducts their semi-annual fire hydrant flushing in April.

The flushing of 85 dead-end water mains is meant to clean accumulated dissolved mineral sediments prior to the system's peak usage period. This process will be conducted from April 2 to 30.

The City says the water discoloration poses no health risk. Residents can choose to keep a supply of clear water in the refrigerator for drinking and cooking in case discoloration shows up in the water.
