Hydrant Flushing
Be prepared for annual waterline flushing that will run from the first week of April through the first week of May. Waterline flushing is necessary to help maintain the water quality in the distribution system. When an area is being flushed, you may notice temporarily discolored water from taps and faucets; the water is safe to drink and any discoloration should subside within 24 hours. There may also be water on roadways near opened hydrants. Questions regarding water line flushing can be directed to 303-438-6334 or publicworks@broomfield.org.
