Current Projects

Night-time flushing will be ongoing from July through October.

Flushing will take place between the hours of 8PM-4AM.

You may experience some discoloration and/or a reduction in pressure.

The discoloration of the water will be temporary and is not harmful.

Running the cold tap for 5-10 minutes should flush out the discoloration.

The purpose of the Hydrant Flushing Program is to improve drinking water quality for residents and businesses.

The Pawtucket Water Supply Board appreciates your patience and understanding!
