Fall Hydrant Flushing Program.  The annual City of Jackson Fall Hydrant Flushing Program from the Department of Public Works (DPW) begins this week in the southwest section of the City and is expected to wrap-up on Tuesday, Oct. 11in the northeast section. This activity is happening all over the City of Jackson and in bordering areas of Summit, Blackman and Leoni townships. A map that indicates the areas and dates scheduled for flushing is posted on the City’s website and social media platforms. It will also be sent to residents through a CodeRED message.  Flushing will take place Monday through Friday, Sept. 26 to Oct. 11, between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.  Flushing is necessary to maintain the quality of the City’s water system, such as washing iron and sediment out of water mains, cleaning pipes, and refreshing the water system. This sediment does not affect water quality but can cause water to become discolored. The water is safe to drink and discoloration often disappears within a short time. Because water can become discolored, residents are advised not to wash clothing while lines are being flushed in or around their neighborhoods.
