BELFAST WATER DISTRICT

FIRE HYDRANT AND WATER MAIN FLUSHING

The Belfast Water District will be flushing hydrants beginning May 9, 2022, and will continue this work over the summer months. This work is necessary to ensure the hydrants' proper operation and to draw water through the water mains at a faster than normal rate to remove any iron sediment in the pipes.

You may experience fluctuations in pressure and/or discolored water during the flushing operations. The condition is temporary and does not pose a health hazard.  Run your cold-water tap until it clears.  During periods of discoloration, postpone washing clothes and limit your use of hot water until the cold water clears.

We will attempt to schedule flushing in a manner that minimizes customer disruptions.

For more information, call 338-1200 between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
