Rockville Centre schedules fall hydrant flushing

Village water mains will be given their fall cleaning from next Wednesday, Oct. 20 through Tuesday, Oct. 26.

The hydrant flushing may cause some fluctuation in water pressure and some rusty colored water. Though the water is both chemically and bacteriologically safe to drink, it could stain laundry. Residents are advised not to schedule projects requiring clear water during the entire flushing period.

The following schedule applies:

Wednesday, Oct. 20, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.: The area of the village north of DeMott Avenue and east of North Village Avenue.

Thursday, Oct. 21, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.: The area of the village between Lakeview Avenue and DeMott Avenue west of Long Beach Road.

Friday, Oct. 22, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.: The area of the village lying between Sunrise Highway and DeMott Avenue east of Long Beach Road.

Monday, Oct. 25, midnight to 8 a.m.: The area of the village lying between Lakeview Avenue and Merrick Road.

Tuesday, Oct. 26, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.: The entire area of the village south of Merrick Road.

Any questions regarding the flushing may be directed to the Rockville Centre Water Department at (516) 678-9301.
