The Maple Shade Utilities staff will be performing the Fall 2016 hydrant flushing program beginning the evening of Monday, October 24th and will continue flushing each evening through November 4th. No flushing will be performed on Saturday, October 29th or Monday, October 31st. The flushing will be done between the hours of 8 p.m. and 12 a.m. The flushing is done per NJDEP requirements on a semi-annual basis to improve water age and remove solids that can accumulate within a water distribution system. This activity can result in “brown water” conditions during the flushing activity. We understand this has been an issue in Maple Shade and we are continuing to work on a long-term solution. The flushing activities are performed to improve overall water quality. The work will be performed each evening by two teams covering the North and South sides of the Township. Work will progress from Zone 1 until completion of Zone 5. We anticipate each section taking about 2 nights to complete however this is subject to change. See attached map to determine which areas of the Township falls in each zone.
