🚰 Hydrant Flushing Begins TODAY, July 8 🚰

The City of Brunswick Department of Public Works will begin a new round of hydrant flushing on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, starting in Zone 1. This routine maintenance helps keep our drinking water clean, clear, and flowing strong throughout the community.

What to expect:
✅ Water flowing into streets as crews open hydrants
✅ Temporary water discoloration (slightly brown or cloudy)
✅ Air in water lines that may cause faucets to sputter
These conditions are normal and are not harmful to your water.

What you should do:
💧 Run cold water from your faucets for a few minutes if water appears discolored
🧺 Avoid doing laundry until the water runs clear
💧 Once the water is clear, it is safe to use as normal
Running your taps helps clear sediment from your home's plumbing.

Thank you for your patience as we perform this important maintenance to ensure safe, clean, and reliable drinking water for Brunswick residents. 🚰💙
