Hydrant Flushing in OC to Start Apr. 26

OCEAN CITY, Md. – The Town of Ocean City’s Public Works Department will begin conducting spring hydrant flushing of the town’s water system beginning Sunday, Apr. 26.

The hydrant flushing, conducted bi-annually, will progress from south to north, beginning on South 1st Street and covering several blocks per day.

Public works personnel are scheduled to perform the flushing throughout the late evening hours and into the early morning hours to minimize disruption. However, officials say unforeseen circumstances may require those times to change. Residents and businesses are reminded that after flushing there may be a slight discoloration of the water. The is not harmful, and should dissipate after a short time.

The completion of this project is expected to be done by the afternoon on Thursday, Apr. 30. For questions or concerns about the hydrant flushing in your area, please contact the Public Works Water Department at 410-524-8388.
