Fall Hydrant Flushing Planned In Freehold Borough: See When

FREEHOLD BOROUGH, NJ — Fall hydrant flushing is set to begin in Freehold Borough on Wednesday, Mayor Kevin Kane recently announced.

The flushing will begin at 8 a.m. on Wednesday and continue until all flushing has been completed, Kane said.

According to borough officials, flushing is done twice per year in order to remove sediment that may accumulate in the distribution system. This helps maintain the system and ensure each hydrant works efficiently.

While flushing takes place, Kane said residents may notice lower water pressure and a slight discoloration of the water.

This discoloration is caused by naturally occurring minerals and sediments and is not harmful, according to borough officials.

Residents should be able to clear up their water by allowing the water to run for a few extra minutes.
