Campbellsville Municipal Water will begin scheduled fire hydrant flushing on Monday, March 2, 2026. This routine maintenance helps keep our water system running efficiently and ensures fire hydrants are ready for emergency use.
What Is Hydrant Flushing?
Hydrant flushing is a regular maintenance process that moves fresh water through the water distribution system to remove mineral buildup and rust from water lines. It also allows crews to test hydrants and confirm proper water flow and pressure for public safety.
What to Expect
During flushing, some residents may notice:
Temporary water discoloration
Air in water lines, which may cause sputtering faucets
This discoloration is temporary and affects only the appearance of the water — not its quality or safety.
What Residents Should Do
If you experience discolored water:
Run cold water from your faucet for several minutes until it runs clear
Avoid washing light-colored laundry until the water clears to prevent staining
Why This Is Important
Routine hydrant flushing helps maintain the overall reliability and quality of Campbellsville’s water system and ensures fire hydrants function properly when they’re needed most.
