Sharpsburg water system hydrant flushing to begin Oct. 28

The Washington County Department of Water Quality will begin flushing fire hydrants on the Sharpsburg Water System starting the week of Oct. 28.

This process, which includes the exercising of valves, will continue intermittently throughout the month of November.

Residents are advised to use caution when washing laundry during this time, as discolored water may occur.

If cloudy or discolored water is seen, it is recommended to flush the interior plumbing by running cold water until it clears.

For more information, call 240-313-2600.

Linden Hall Farm chosen as 2024-25 Farm of the Year
