Hydrant flushing could lead to water discoloration

by | Apr 14, 2022 | News

Hopkinton’s Water and Sewer Department announced Thursday that crews will be flushing a hydrant in Woodville this evening, starting around 9 p.m.

Once the wells are turned back on Friday morning, this could spread the discoloration back toward town.

Residents are advised to check their water before using it. It might require running the cold water line to clear the pipes.
