Port Washington Water District Fire Hydrant Maintenance Program Underway

Proper maintenance of hydrants is essential for providing fire protection so that our local fire department can continue with its excellent job of protecting the lives and homes of our residents. Therefore, the Port Washington Water District has kicked off its annual fire hydrant maintenance program. Work is expected to continue through April. This proactive maintenance work will ensure that hydrants will operate properly when needed for fighting fires. Please note that slight water pressure variations or discolored water conditions may occur during this period, but please remember that the water is absolutely safe to drink. Water uses, such as laundering of clothes, may be affected due to coloration of water. The Water District recommends running a cold water tap until the water is clear should residents experience any water discoloration.
