The Tamaqua Area Water Authority will begin flushing fire hydrants on Tuesday, May 2, beginning at 7 AM in the Dutch Hill section of the borough. Other sections will be notified a day before flushing.

Customers may experience low pressure and/or discoloration of water during flushing, but this will be temporary and the water will be safe to drink.

Hydrants are flushed to ensure they have proper flow and pressure, but also to remove sediment that might affect water clarity or quality.
