Home About News Board of Trustees Customers Contractors Document Library Assuring fire hydrants operate properly means they must be opened, flowed, and closed at least once a year. Your JTFD firefighters will be inspecting and flushing hydrants in the month of May, done in cooperation with the Jefferson Water & Sewer District. Flushing is the quick release of water, a controlled procedure vital to the general maintenance of township hydrants. When necessary, firefighters use a diffuser to direct the water flow away from landscaped areas of homeowner yards. Sometimes hydrant flushing can make the water temporarily appear rust-colored because the iron and other mineral deposits in the water mains get stirred up. There may not be a noticeable difference in your water supply, but a few could experience low water pressure or water discoloration which may stain laundry. Wait to do laundry until flushing has subsided, then run cold tap water until the water runs clear. If clothing staining happens, keep clothes wet and treat with stain remover. If you experience discoloration, please run the cold water in the bath tub to flush from the lines in your home. If you continue to experience discoloration after flushing your lines for a reasonable amount of time, please contact our office at 614-864-0740. If you have any questions regarding the flushing process or current location in the District, please feel free to call the JTFD Prevention Bureau at 614-626-5160. While you are out and about, for their safety and yours, please slow down if you happen to drive past your JTFD firefighters flushing hydrants. Thank you and Be Safe!
