The process of flushing hydrants prevent buildup of deposits in water mains. When flushing hydrants, homes down stream of the hydrant may see redness for a short time in the water. The opening of the hydrant causes a water scouring effect that cleans the lines and insures a proper operation and longer lasting water system. The Newark Fire Department normally flushes the water hydrants between April and November every year. The Newark Water Department flushes hydrants every month at a few points in the City of Newark. Hydrant Flushing Alerts - List of Hydrants Flushed Monthly: -Flushing on Horns Hill Rd in the Fairway Estates area. -Flushing on hydrants south of 2nd St. -Flushing on Brice Ct, Morgan Run, Kiley Crossing and Welcome Rd. -Flushing on south of the Court House Square to S 2nd St & streets east & west of S 2nd. -Flushing on Heidi, Heather and Brooke Ave. The 2009 annual fire hydrant flushing maintenance program has been completed by the Newark Fire Department.
