Flushing and Replacement Programs

Flushing and Replacement Programs are initiatives to improve water system quality. Flushing involves temporarily opening fire hydrants or valves to clear out sediments, debris, and stagnant water from pipelines, ensuring cleaner and safer water distribution. Replacement programs involve systematically removing old, corroded, or deteriorated pipes and replacing them with new ones to prevent leaks, breaks, and contamination. Together, these programs help maintain the safety, reliability, and quality of a community’s water supply by reducing health risks and infrastructure failures. They are essential components of managing public water systems effectively and sustainably.
