The Southbridge Water Department will start its semi-annual hydrant flushing program on Sunday, April 9, 2023 at approximately 9:00pm and continue during the overnight hours for approximately 6-8 weeks between the hours of 9:00pm - 5:00am. Flushing will start in the Westville area and continue easterly throughout the Town.
The procedure will include the cleaning of the reservoir intake screens, flushing accumulated sediment from the water mains and testing the operation of each hydrant.
The Department requests that during this period customers check their water before washing clothes. Customers may also get accumulated sediments in their house laterals and experience some discolored water. This will clear after a brief run water at the tap. Please contact the Southbridge Water Department at 508-764-3207 if you have any questions or comments.
