SPRING HYDRANT FLUSHING The Dalton Fire District announces that the "Annual Spring Flushing" of the water system will begin the week of April 8, 2025. Water mains throughout the town will be flushed over the next eight weeks to remove accumulations of pipeline corrosion products. Fire Hydrants will be flushed Monday through Friday each week, except holidays, between the hours of 7:15 AM and 3:15 PM. Although flushing may cause localized dirty water and reduce service pressure conditions in and around the immediate area of flushing, appropriate measures will be taken to ensure that the proper levels of treatment and disinfection are always maintained in the system. Should dirty water be experienced, customers may wish to let the water run for a short period to clear prior to use. Should dirty water or low-pressure conditions persist after 3:30 PM please contact the Dalton Fire District Water Department at 684-6124 or 684-0500. The Dalton Fire District regrets any inconvenience that the flushing program may cause. Flushing is an important operating procedure that contributes significantly to the maintenance of water quality in the water distribution system. AD# 83710 04/06/2024
