Starting the week of November 12th, the City of Cambridge is scheduled to commence its annual fire hydrant flushing program. This essential maintenance helps clear out any sediment from pipes and ensures that hydrants will function efficiently in case of emergencies. Residents might notice a temporary drop in water pressure or slight discoloration in their water. These effects are normal and pose no health risks. Authorities advise running cold water taps for a few minutes until the water clears. The program aims to enhance the quality of water and the reliability of available fire protection services.
