Hydrant Flushing Activities

The Westminster Water Department will be conducting water main flushing in different parts of Westminster throughout the rest of the month of October. The flushing is anticipated to take place over the upcoming three weeks. Water main flushing will occur between the hours of 7:00AM to 3:30PM. The purpose of the water main flushing is to improve drinking water quality for residents and businesses in the Town.

The flushing of hydrants is a critical process that removes sediment buildup in the pipes and helps to optimize our water quality. It also helps us conduct inspections of the hydrants for fire protection. The flushing may result in temporary discoloration of the water, caused by small particles dislodged during the flushing as well as possible reduction in pressure. We recommend restricting water usage during the flushing period.

The flushing process may cause discolored water and a reduction in pressure. The discoloration of the water will be temporary and is not harmful. If the condition persists, please contact the Westminster Water Department at 978-874-5572. The Water Department appreciates your patience as we make every effort to deliver the highest quality water to our customers and ensure that the Town's fire hydrants are functioning properly as active components of fire protection.
