Beginning Sunday, May 17, 2020 and continuing through Thursday, May 21, 2020
Aquarion Water Company will be flushing sections of South Hingham beginning Sunday, May 17, 2020. Water main/hydrant flushing activities will be conducted during the evenings to minimize disruptions to our customers between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., Sunday through Thursday. This program is being undertaken to ensure customers continue to receive the highest quality water.
During this time, customers may notice episodes of decreased water pressure or discoloration of their water. Water discoloration results from temporary disturbances of the normal water flow within our piping network. These short-term changes in flow can stir up naturally occurring minerals and sediment that settle within the water mains. The objective of the water main/hydrant flushing program is to remove these accumulated sediments from our pipes by flushing the water out of the fire hydrants.
Aquarion recommends customers in or near the target flushing areas store water in their refrigerators for drinking and cooking. If water discoloration occurs, customers should try to refrain from using hot water (for washing laundry, etc.) and run their cold-water faucets until the water appears clear.
Below is some general information regarding crew locations during the week of water main/hydrant flushing program. Schedule information will be updated daily and is available by calling 1-800-203-7000 and or by going to our Alert listings on our website: aquarionwater.com.
