Heads up, Bordentown! The Water Department will be conducting hydrant flushing throughout the City and Township starting TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7 as part of routine system maintenance.
Benefits of hydrant flushing:
+ Clears out natural sediment from the mains
+ Supports clean, reliable water service
+ Confirms hydrants are in working order for fire safety
During this work, you may notice:
+ Temporary pressure changes
+ Discolored or cloudy water (harmless — simply run your faucet until it clears)
+ Laundry is best delayed while flushing is active nearby to avoid possible staining
📅 Check the schedule below for when crews will be in your area.
Thank you for your understanding as we carry out this essential maintenance.
Need a bulk pickup?
You can now submit your request online—quick and simple—and we’ll make sure your items are collected on time! After you submit our NEW form, Public Works will email you to confirm your pickup date.
