Why is it helpful to know when hydrant flushing and flow testing are happening in your neighborhood? On occasion, the water in your home or businesses may have an orange or rusty appearance. The water is safe to use and drink, but it can cause stains to laundry if the discoloration is not first cleared from the lines. The iron sediment in the water main being disturbed by the hydrant flushing causes the discoloration. If this occurs, please run your COLD water for several minutes and flush your toilet to clear your lines. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the hydrant flushing process, the city is available to help you. Please call City of Ann Arbor customer service at 734.794.6320 or visit www.a2gov.org/departments/water-treatment/Pages/hydrantflush.aspx, and subscribe to email updates of the hydrant flushing schedule through the city's free subscription service.
