The City of Troy flushes fire hydrants annually, and the summer hydrant flushing project is underway. Hydrant flushing is a controlled procedure to maintain our fire hydrants and water distribution system. By performing a release of water from the hydrants, Troy's Fire Department ensures adequate water flow is available to fire fighters, residents and businesses. Flushing also helps maintain the City’s water clarity and quality by clearing iron and mineral deposits from the water mains.

The City’s water is always safe to drink. However, if you notice a brownish tint in your tap water during your area’s hydrant flushing period, run the water for two to three minutes or until the water is clear.
The flushing schedule is as follows:
Zone 1 171 Hydrants 6/4 – 6/10
Zone 2 153 Hydrants 6/11 -6/14
Zone 3 157 Hydrants 6/17 -6/21
