RVC Water Dept. to Flush Out Hydrants

Hydrant flushing scheduled for April 25 to May 1.

The Rockville Centre Water Department has scheduled the spring hydrant flushings for Wednesday, April 25 through Tuesday, May 1. The flushing of hydrants may cause some fluctuation in water pressure and may cause discolored water to flow into homes and businesses.

Though the water is both chemically and bacteriologically safe to drink, the discoloration could stain laundry. Consumers are advised not to schedule projects which require clear water during the entire flushing period.

  • Wednesday, April 25 (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.): The entire area of the Village north of DeMott Avenue from North Village Avenue to the eastern border.
  • Thursday, April 26 (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.): The entire area of the Village between Lakeview Avenue and DeMott Avenue west of Long Beach Road.
  • Friday, April 27 (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.): The entire area of the Village between Sunrise Highway and DeMott Avenue and east of Long Beach Road.
  • Monday, April 30 (Midnight to 8 a.m.): The entire area of the Village between Lakeview Avenue and Merrick Road.
  • Tuesday, May 1 (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.): The entire area of the Village south of Merrick Road.

All questions regarding the flushing may be directed to the RVC Water Department at 678-9301.
