FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question 1: What is flushing?

Answer 1: Flushing is a method to clean the water main pipe by using high water velocity to "flush-out" sediment and minerals that are building up over time.

Question 2: How does this flushing happen?

Answer 2: The high water velocity is created by opening fire hydrants in the street. In this way the whole water main pipe gets cleaned systematically.

Question 3: What other benefits does this flushing have?

Answer 3: The other benefit is the testing of the fire hydrants to make sure they operate properly.

Question 4: What does the Hyannis Water System customer have to do?

Answer 4: If the water is discolored, let the cold water run for a few minutes to clear the water line. Many homes have an outside spigot which generally is your first cold water tap. Starting with this tap first will produce quicker results to the rest of your cold water taps.

Question 5: Is flushing a health hazard?

Answer 5: Flushing is not a health hazard. The temporary discoloration of the water is an unavoidable effect of flushing with an aesthetic value only.

Question 6: Should I do laundry when the flushing crew is working in my area?

Answer 6: Hyannis Water System customers should refrain from doing laundry during flushing operations.
