Hydrant Flushing to Finish in Eastern Norfolk

On Wednesday, August 7 and Thursday, August 8 the City of Norfolk Water Division will be flushing hydrants from east of the Flood Control to Highway 35 and from Benjamin Avenue south to East Norfolk Avenue. Hydrants are generally flushed in the spring, however, due to spring construction the hydrants in this area could not be flushed. 

The purpose of the flushing program is to remove the buildup of iron and manganese deposits that have collected in the water mains. The water is bacteria free, however, it is not recommended to consume the water if it is extremely discolored. Customers living in the area affected by the flushing program are encouraged not to perform any laundry tasks as this time. The isolation of ice machine is recommended to prevent any iron and manganese deposits from plugging the ice machines. 

The City of Norfolk would like to thank you for your patience during the flushing program.
