Water Main Flushing Notice

Water Main Flushing - MONDAY, OCTOBER 5 - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2026

Periodically, in Springfield, Vermont, we clean water mains of harmless corrosion and accumulated foreign matter by opening hydrants and allowing the water to escape under high pressure. The flushing action is an important part of our program to maintain high-qualityquality water. 

Although such flushing may produce temporary discoloration, the safety of the water is not affected in any way. HOWEVER, we advise you to schedule clothes washing and cleaning projects at other times.

All mains will be flushed between 7am and 6pm Monday - Friday. During the time this work is performed, IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WILL BE AFFECTED. It is suggested that restaurants, laundromats, etc keep their use to a minimum until the water clears. The water system will be riled and cloudy, but this condition will clear up upon completion of the work.
