Fall Flushing Beginning September 16, 2020

Dracut Water Supply District will perform seasonal flushing starting Wednesday September 16, 2020 and will continue until weather permits.  Flushing will be between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm. The intent of the flushing program is to clean out the sediment that collects in water mains, to examine the areas that might have lower water pressure, and to inspect the fire hydrants for fire protection.

Flushing of hydrants will be in the Tyngsboro area on Frost Road, Lakeview Ave, Norris Rd, Parham Rd  and all side streets.

Customers should avoid using the water when hydrants are being flushed. This will minimize the dirty water being drawn into the building. After the flushing, you may experience temporary discoloration, lower pressure and sometimes air bubbles in the water. Please run the cold water tap for a while until the water is clear.

The flushing program is essential in maintaining our water system and providing high water quality to you. Please contact us at 978-957-0441 if you have any questions about the flushing program.
