Hydrant Flushing and Valve Exercising

The Village implements a water line flushing and valve exercising program. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality requires directional flushing to remove iron and sulfate deposits from water lines. Flushing and valve maintenance helps to maintain quality water throughout the system.

The Village conducts flushing and valve maintenance in the spring and fall each year. During this procedure, it is likely that water may become cloudy as deposits are removed from the lines. If water becomes discolored, you will need to run it until it clears.

Notices for upcoming flushing and valve maintenance will be posted on the News and Notices section of the Home Page.
