Water Main Flushing Week of May 12

May 7, 2024   

City of Somersworth

Department of Public Works and Utilities

Hydrant Flushing

The City’s Water Division will be conducting night time flushing of water mains:

Sunday, May 12 through Thursday, May 16 between the hours of 6:00pm to 4:00am 

After which time, City staff will continue to flush areas that can be flushed during the day.

The flushing program helps to maintain water quality throughout the water distribution system. We ask that you refrain from using water when crews are observed in your area as water main flushing can cause a temporary discoloration of your water supply. This discoloration is from naturally occurring minerals that have precipitated in the water lines. If you do experience discoloration, please run a cold water tap for a short time to clear your water.

*Questions or additional information can be directed to Michael Bobinsky, Director of Public Works and Utilities at 603-692-4266
