Annual Rochester hydrant flushing extended to June

ROCHESTER - Rochester's annual hydrant flushing has been extended through June 15. The annual project began in April, and is scheduled during the nighttime hours from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.

As a result of flushing, some slight discoloration may be noticed in residents' water. If discoloration occurs it may clear up if you run your cold water tap for several minutes. Customers may also experience low water pressure while flushing is in progress. Customers are urged to check their water for these types of issues before bathing or doing laundry.

If residents have any questions or concerns, or if discoloration will not clear, please contact the Rochester Public Works Department during regular business hours, Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., at 332-4096.
