Question 1: What is flushing?
Answer 1:
Question 2: How does this
flushing happen?
Answer 2: The high water
velocity is created by opening fire hydrants in the
street. In this way the whole water main pipe gets
cleaned systematically.
Question 3: What other benefits
does this flushing have?
Answer 3: The other benefit is
the testing of the fire hydrants to make sure they
operate properly.
Question 4: What does the
Hyannis Water System customer have to do?
Answer 4: If the water is
discolored, let the cold water run for a few minutes
to clear the water line. Many homes have an outside
spigot which generally is your first cold water tap.
Starting with this tap first will produce quicker
results to the rest of your cold water taps.
Question 5: Is flushing a
health hazard?
Answer 5:
Question 6: Should I do laundry
when the flushing crew is working in my area?
