FLUSHING

Dracut Water Supply District (DWSD) will be performing seasonal flushing beginning April 10, 2023 and will continue through May.  Both night and day flushing will be performed to minimize the impact to our customers. 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.

DWSD will begin flushing at our well source in Tyngsboro and work our way through the system. DWSD will keep customers informed of the flushing area by posting on our website & on our Facebook page. Signs will be placed in the areas of flushing.  If possible, customers should avoid using the water when hydrants are being flushed. This will minimize the dirty water being drawn into your residence. After the flushing, you may experience temporary discoloration, lower pressure and sometimes air bubbles in the water. Run the cold water tap until the water clears. (Outside spigot if possible).

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