Upcoming Water Main Flushing Schedule for May 20-24: Impact on Local Streets and Water Quality

The Department of Public Works has scheduled the third week of its four-week water main flushing program from Monday, May 20, 2024, to Friday, May 24, 2024. The flushing will take place daily from 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., except in certain areas where night flushing is planned. Residents should avoid doing laundry during these times as the water may be discolored.

The flushing on Monday will start in Area 11, affecting Chapel Pl., Harvard St., Princeton St., and nearby streets around Northampton Rd. and The Mall. On Tuesday, it will continue in Area 12, including Evelyn Ave., Henrietta Blvd., and adjacent areas. Residents should expect possible changes in water clarity and pressure.

On Wednesday and Thursday, flushing will shift to nighttime from 7:00 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. in Areas 13 and 14 to reduce daytime disruptions. This will affect Henrietta St., Stewart St., Guy Park Ave., and nearby major streets.

The program ends on Friday in Area 15, impacting Prospect St., Glen Ave., and Brookside Ave. After flushing, residents are advised to run cold water through their faucets to clear any discoloration.
