Watch For Discoloration; Rockville Centre Hydrant Flushing Next Month

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY — That time of the year is upon us when the Village of Rockville Centre conducts its first of two seasonal hydrant flushing.

The Water Department will work on the hydrants from April 10-16. It is done to ensure the hydrants are up to the standards for firefighters and maintain the water quality for residents and businesses.

During the flushing program, customers may experience a slight drop in water pressure or temporary water discoloration. Although it is safe to drink, it may stain laundry.

Here is the schedule:

• Wednesday, April 10th between 8 am and 4 pm
  All of the area of the Village lying North of DeMott Avenue.
• Thursday, April 11th between 8 am and 4 pm in the area of the Village lying between Lakeview Avenue and DeMott Avenue, west of Long Beach Road.
• Friday, April 12th between 8 am and 4 pm in the area of the Village lying between Sunrise Highway and DeMott Avenue east of Long Beach Road.
