    Fall Fire Hydrant Flushing to Take Place Sept. 8-12 and Sept. 16-20

    August 21, 2024

    SALISBURY, Maryland — To help ensure ongoing water quality, improve the health of our water system and ensure that fire hydrants are operational and in good working order, the City of Salisbury will be conducting a citywide fire hydrant flushing program for two weeks in September.

    From September 8-12, to minimize inconvenience, we will be flushing the public water system in the areas highlighted by blue in the attached map during the hours between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m.

    All other areas of the map will be flushed over the following week during normal business hours (Sept. 16-20, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.).

    “It is possible that the flushing could break loose sediment that could find its way into the pipes of homes or businesses,” said Director of Water Works Cori Cameron. “If you find discoloration of your water during this period, simply turning on all the faucets and running the water for a short while should clear up your water.”

    Please contact the Department of Waterworks, Utilities Division at 410-548-3103 if you have any questions or concerns.
