This week, hydrants on all streets in West Haven within the area bounded by the Milford town line, Woodmont Road and Jones Hill Road and all streets in Milford bounded by the West Haven town line, I-95 and New Haven Avenue are being flushed to improve the quality of water to our customers and clean sediment from the water mains.

Sediment and rust can collect in water mains. This can discolor water, cause undesirable tastes and odors, and over time impede the flow of water through the main. The mains are flushed by operating valves in the street and opening hydrants to force the flow of water in one direction to properly flush the water main.
