Spring Lake Township DPW will be conducting hydrant flushing during the first three weeks of October. This is done annually as part of the maintenance of the Township's water distribution system. During the process, a yellow, brown or reddish tint may appear in the water due to mineral deposits being stirred up. Avoid using the washing machine or dishwasher if you see our crews flushing on your street. If your water is discolored, shut off the water and wait for several minutes. After waiting, check the clarity of the water by running cold water for a few minutes until the water is clear.
