A. Hydrant flushing is necessary to help us maintain the quality of the water in the District's water mains. If the water mains are not flushed the chlorine levels used to protect the water going to your home can significantly drop. We are currently looking at different ways to capture this water, for different beneficial uses. Some customers have asked if this water can be diverted onto their lawns. With the methods being used to flush fire hydrants, precise control of this water is sometimes a problem. There is a chance of damaging existing landscaping on the property. If a homeowner close to the fire hydrant or blow-off requests having the water diverted to their lawn we will try to accommodate them.
