Loveland, Ohio – Fire hydrant flushing will take place in the City from March 10 until April 11. The Loveland-Symmes Fire Department will perform this routine maintenance.

What City Hall says bout the procedure

• Hydrant flushing is essential for removing sediments and biofilm in water main pipes, ensuring high-quality water supply and preventing flow restriction.
• Regular flushing provides multiple benefits, such as maintaining water quality, extending the longevity of the water mains and hydrants, and identifying system weaknesses.
• Customers may experience discolored water during these times; however, the water is and remains safe for consumption. The discoloration will clear as crews move through the area. If you experience discolored water, allowing the cold water to run for 5-10 minutes will help to clear the lines.
