Township of Montville

ON WEEKDAYS - APRIL 16^th to APRIL 20^th, APRIL 23^rd to APRIL 27^th & APRIL 30^th to MAY 4^th, 9AM-3PM THE ANNUAL TOWN WIDE WATER SYSTEM FLUSHING OF HYDRANTS WILL BE HELD.

The purpose is to remove accumulated sediment in water mains.  This process could result in discolored/cloudy water or low pressure during & immediately following the daily flushing.  If you experience discolored water, open the cold-water faucets on the lowest floor of the house & allow the water to run until it clears (usually within 30 min). If it persists, call the W/S office at 973-331-3330.  Discolored or cloudy water is potable, but not desirable for use. 

We strongly recommend that water softeners be bypassed during the day throughout the flushing period and refrain from doing laundry & using water for drinking and cooking from 9am to 5pm.  FLUSHING IN THE FIRST WEEK WILL BEGIN IN THE NORTHERN AREA, SECOND WEEK THE MIDDLE AREA AND THIRD WEEK IN THE PINE BROOK AREA.  Please keep in mind that discolored water could occur at any time during the flushing period but more likely when we flush the water mains in your neighborhood.

SCHOOLS & RESTAURANTS WILL BE NOTIFIED IN ADVANCE OF FLUSHING IN THE LOCATION’S AREA.
