Beginning April 1st, 2021, the NTB Fire Department will begin performing annual fire hydrant flow testing and flushing. The Fire department will flush the water mains by opening the hydrants and allowing them to flow freely for a period of time. The flushing is required to remove sediment from the water mains and perform routine maintenance and testing of the hydrants. Flowing of the hydrants may result in discoloration of the water in your homes and the presence of of sediment in your water. These conditions are normal after flushing, are not harmful, and are temporary. If you experience this, please flush all water fixtures within your residence.
