2026 Fall Hydrant Flushing Begins 5 OCT

by Jane Ahrens

Fishers Island Water Works will begin flushing the water mains on Monday, October 5, and is scheduled to conclude on Friday, November 20.

All Fishers Island Water Works customers should expect discoloration temporarily after flushing near or upstream the service tap. At various times during the cleaning, the water will become discolored due to the disturbance of naturally occurring minerals that have settled in the water mains. The water is safe to drink. However, because of discoloration, we advise customers to store tap water in the refrigerator for drinking and cooking until the water clears up. Residents should also check the condition of the water prior to washing clothes and if it is discolored, delay doing laundry until the water is clear.

Flushing will occur between 9 AM – 12 PM Monday through Friday

*Flushing between the museum and the school will be done between 4AM and 6AM
