Water Flushing Program

This project is a biannual event undertaken by the City of Melrose.  The intent of the flushing project is to clean out any sediment that collects in water mains and to examine any areas which might be experiencing poor water pressure.  Over the course of the summer and into the fall, every stretch of water main in the city will be flushed by closing off certain valves in the city’s water service system and allowing hydrants in that area to run for a period of a few minutes. Feel free to contact Ann Waitt in the Public Works Department at (781) 979-4177 if you have any questions.
