Annual hydrant flushing to begin next week

The Frankfort Plant Board will begin its annual hydrant flushing on Monday, April 11, 2022. FPB Department of Water crews will service fire hydrants throughout Frankfort and Franklin County over the next few months. Flushing is necessary to maintain the integrity and quality of the distribution system and to ensure hydrants are functioning properly. This will also allow FPB to obtain fire-fighting flow information, which is shared with the city and county fire departments.

 

We ask that motorists please use caution in the flushing area due to possible water in the roadway. Some discoloration may occur in your tap water. This is normal. If discoloration persists after running your faucet for a short time, please call 352-4372.

 

Hydrant flushing areas for April 11 are:

  • Glenns Creek Rd. area

  • McCracken Road area

  • Steele Street area
