The Middleborough Water Department announced on April 13 that hydrant flushing in the Oak Point area will take place on Thursday, April 16, between 7:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Hydrant flushing is a routine maintenance activity intended to ensure water quality and maintain the integrity of the town’s water system. During this process, customers in Oak Point may notice rusty or discolored water.
The department advises residents to run cold faucets until the water clears before using it for cooking or laundry. This precaution helps prevent staining and ensures safe use of household water during and after the flushing period.
The Middleborough Water Department thanked residents for their cooperation during this maintenance event. No additional background information was provided regarding further maintenance plans or previous hydrant flushings.
