Fall Hydrant Flushing to begin on Sunday, November 1

OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND : The Town of Ocean City’s Public Works Department will begin conducting the fall hydrant flushing of the water system beginning Sunday, November 1. The hydrant flushing, which is done bi-annually, is scheduled to be done during the early morning hours.

The project is expected to be completed by November 5. Residents and businesses are reminded that after flushing there may be a slight discoloration of the water. This is not harmful and will dissipate after a short time. If you wish to clear your pipes, run cold water for several minutes until the water runs clear.

For questions or concerns about the hydrant flushing in your area, please contact the Public Works Water Department at 410.524.8388.
