The Town of Crewe Public Works Department will begin flushing fire hydrants on Thursday, August 12, 2021 at 7:00 a.m. Town staff will be on both east and west ends of Town to start the flushing simultaneously. Water main flushing is an important preventative maintenance activity that verifies proper operation of the hydrant, removes mineral and sediment build up from the water lines and allows for delivery of the highest quality water possible.

When the flushing is taking place, water clarity may temporarily be reduced. Using water for tasks such as dishwashing, laundry, or showering may result in the discoloration/staining of your clothes or household items. Plan ahead and have laundry done before the flushing process begins. Additionally, during the process you might experience a difference in water pressure as well as some discoloration in the water.

Once the hydrants in your area have completed their flushing, it shouldn’t be long until your water is ready for normal use again. Turn your faucets on cold and let the water run for 5 minutes or so. If you are still seeing discolored water or sediments in the water, continue running cold water on all your faucets until it is clear. It is recommended to allow up to 12 to 24 hours for all discoloration to subside.

If you have any questions, please call the Town office at 434-645-9453

Thank you

Per yesterday’s Code Red message, the Town is flushing hydrants today. You may experience low water pressure and flow. Please call the Town office at 645-9453 if you have any questions. Thanks for your assistance.
