Veolia Hydrant Flushing Underway

Over the next several weeks, Veolia crews will be flushing fire hydrants and blow offs in the City of New Rochelle. Work will be performed between the hours of 7:30 am and 4 pm. Workers will be carrying company identification cards for your security.        

  • Hydrant flushing may temporarily cause slight discoloration of water and a decrease in water pressure. 
  • Check your cold water for discoloration. If you experience discoloration of water, please run your cold water in a basement sink for 15-20 minutes. This should clear your problem. 
  • If the water is discolored, please flush your line as mentioned above before attempting to do any laundry.
