Lynn Water & Sewer Commission conducting hydrant flushing program

Lynn residents are advised that the Lynn Water & Sewer Commission shall be conducting a hydrant flushing program in April & May on weekdays from 6-10pm. This program is necessary to clean the distribution system of residual materials that normally settle out in the mains during the year so as to ensure the delivery of better quality water during the coming summer months.

Rusty and dirty water may be experienced for a short time during and after flushing. If the water appears dirty, leaving the tap open for several minutes following flushing should clear the pipes. Prior to doing laundry, residents are advised to check this schedule.
