Maintaining
the water and wastewater system for our town is perhaps
the most important responsibility of our Public Works
Department.
Drinking
water must be filtered, disinfected and cleaned in accordance to
the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection Agencies guidelines,
but it is impossible to remove a certain amount of very fine sand
and dirt. These particles in no way make the water unsafe for drinking
or household use, however if they are allowed to continually build
up in the system's water mains, it will cause damage to the pipes
and make the customer's water look cloudy or dirty.
By
flushing our Town's fire hydrants our Public Works can:
- Keep
the water clean and free of particles, such as
very fine sand and dirt
- Ensure
the hydrant itself is in good and proper working order
- Test
hydrant flow which helps to determine the homeowner's insurance
rating and the need for
system improvements
- Prevent
corrosion build up in the water mains
