The City of Smithville has contracted with Rogers hydrant service to flush fire hydrants over a two week period starting Monday, November 5 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The annual flushing of water mains via fire hydrants is a standard maintenance process that improves water quality at the tap by removing accumulated minerals, sediment and tuberculation in the lines (a buildup common in iron pipes that reduces its ability to transmit water). This also helps identify hydrants in need of repair.

The flushing process can cause low water pressure and frequently disturbs the accumulated minerals and sediment in the water mains. The quick release of water from a hydrant causes them to dissolve and temporarily discolor the water delivered to homes and businesses.

“Although, the water is perfectly safe we recommend running a cold water tap for several minutes to help clear the discoloration before using it for drinking or laundry. Please check your washing machine before using it as you may experience discolored clothing due to hydrant flushing,” said Kevin Robinson, City Public Works Director.

The fire hydrant flushing only affects the City of Smithville and its water customers.
