Hydrant Flushing Scheduled This Week In Doylestown Borough

DOYLESTOWN BOROUGH, PA — The Doylestown Borough Water Department will be flushing hydrants on Monday, August 25, beginning at 7 p.m.

Crews will work in higher-traffic areas Monday night, then continue flushing throughout the borough during normal business hours Tuesday through Friday. Work is expected to be completed by Friday, August 29 at 3 p.m.

During the flushing process, customers may notice temporary low water pressure or discolored water. This is a normal part of the process, said water company officials. To clear the discolorization, just run the cold water (bathtub or outside spigot).

Water company officials said routine maintenance is essential to keep the water system clean and ensure hydrants are ready for fire protection.
