GROTON WATER DEPARTMENT

SEASONAL WATER MAIN FLUSHING

The Groton Water Department will begin its annual flushing of the water distribution system on Tuesday, April 9^th, 2024 thru Thursday, April 25^th, 2024. All water main flushing occurs during the daytime hours only. We anticipate the flushing program will take approximately three weeks to complete. You will experience low water pressure and discolored water during the flushing effort and we apologize for this inconvenience. Please be patient with us as we flush the water mains.

If you experience a prolonged period of discolored water, please run numerous cold water taps simultaneously for 5 to 10 minutes or until it clears up.

This is the time to thoroughly flush your hot water tank.
