2019 Hydrant Flushing Program- Franklin Water Department

The Franklin Department of Public Works, Water Division will begin its hydrant flushing program on Monday, April 8, 2019. This program is conducted annually to improve Franklin's water quality and fire flows. Some hydrants will be flushed in the evening hours, while others will be completed during the day. Hydrant flushing will continue depending on water availability and system pressures.

Residents may experience temporary water loss or discolored water while hydrants are being flushed in their area. Even though the water may be discolored, it is still safe for human consumption.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and we apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the DPW office at 508-553-5500
