Village Of Montgomery Sets Hydrant Flushing For Late March

Press release from the Village of Montgomery:

The Village of Montgomery Public Works Department crews will be flushing water mains in the Village during the weeks of March 22nd and March 29th. Flushing may take additional time depending on weather and unforeseen circumstances. This procedure clears sediment from the water distribution line, helps maintain water quality, and verifies proper operation of the hydrants.

Residents are encouraged to refrain from washing laundry when flushing is done in or near their neighborhood as the temporarily discolored water may cause laundry staining. Residents should also run their cold water taps first to clean out any sediment that may enter the water lines inside the homes. Public Works crews will flush hydrants from approximately 7:00 am to 6:00 pm daily according to the following schedule:

Week of March 22nd: Areas east of Orchard Road to Hill Avenue (includes Parkview Estates) and north of Route 30 (Seasons Ridge) up to Ashland Avenue. As well as Lakewood Creek West, Fairfield Way, and Foxmoor.

Week of March 29th: Subdivisions west of Orchard Road to Big Bend Road and from Galena Road to Jericho Road, including Montgomery Crossings, Lakewood Creek, Blackberry Crossing, Blackberry Crossing West, Huntington Chase, Balmorea, Orchard Prairie North, and Saratoga Springs.

If you have any questions about the hydrant flushing program, please contact Public Works (630) 896-9241.
