Starting this week, the NO-DES truck will be flushing hydrants in the Viewpoint subdivision for approximately 4 weeks. Crews will be accompanied by a large truck and hoses connected to fire hydrants throughout this flushing process.
In the past when the Utilities Department flushed hydrants, the water would go onto the road or the ground. With this technology from NO-DES, the unit filters and re-circulates the water inside the water distribution system to allow year-round flushing without wasting water. Water is removed from one fire hydrant, filtered, and then pumped back into the water system at a different fire hydrant.
