MEDINA: Annual hydrant flushing schedule is announced.

Staff Reports
The Journal-Register

To improve the quality of the water distribution system, the Village of Medina will perform hydrant flushing, beginning the third week of July. The maintenance will continue for approximately three weeks.

This is part of a regularly scheduled update for the village’s water system and is done to improve water quality through high volume circulation.

The fire department will be flowing hydrants from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. in an attempt to reduce inconvenience to the public. Residents may notice a temporary drop in water pressure in their home and may notice some discoloration due to the high iron content in the water. Any discolored water is not harmful for consumption, according to the fire department, so there is no need for alarm.

However, this discoloration will stain laundry, so it is advised residents refrain from doing laundry during this time period.

The Orleans County Health Department recommends consumers “vigorously flush first their cold, then hot faucets, to more rapidly purge their home plumbing of the discolored water.”

If discoloration still occurs after purging and using the water for 24 hours, contact the public works department at 798-1790.
