Jackson, MI – The annual City of Jackson Fall Hydrant Flushing Program from the Department of Public Works will begin this week in the southwest section of the City, and is expected to wrap-up in mid-October in the northeast section.

Here are the key details residents need to know about hydrant flushing:

• Flushing will take place Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.
• The flushing is necessary to maintain the quality of the City’s water system, such as washing iron and sediment out of water mains, cleaning pipes, and refreshing the water system.
• Because water can become discolored, residents are advised not to wash clothing while lines are being flushed in or around their neighborhoods.
