Fire Hydrant Flushing - Week of November 21
The Public Works will be performing routine fire hydrant flushing this week throughout Town. Please be aware of standing water on roadsides, thank you for your patience. This system-wide flushing is part of the continuing effort by the Denton Public Works Department to relieve any taste, odor, and turbidity problems that affect some water customers in our community. Taste, odor, and turbidity problems occur in most water systems but do not present a health problem. While flushing is in progress, many customers may experience drops in water pressure and may notice rusty water. While flushing occurs in your area customers should avoid doing laundry and reduce their use of hot water to a minimum. While this program may cause some inconvenience for the water customers of Denton, it should significantly improve the quality of service during the following year. If you should have any questions or concerns regarding this program, please contact Mr. Mark Chandler of the DPW at 410-479-5446. Your cooperation and understanding are greatly appreciated.
