Fire Department Sets Hydrant Flushing Schedule
Find Your Street to Avoid Potential Clothing Stains
The West Chester Fire Department will continue its annual Hydrant Flushing Program on Monday, May 4th, 2026. The John Rd. fire station (Firehouse 72) and the Tyler’s Place Blvd. Fire station (Firehouse 75) will be flushing hydrants on a daily basis (except weekends) as late as July 17, 2026.
Saturdays and Sundays (make-up days) are reserved to catch up on hydrants not done during the previous five weekdays due to inclement weather or other high-priority details.
On the day that your street is due to have hydrants flushed, water from faucets may become cloudy or brownish. Let cold water run for 2-3 minutes at the lowest area of your home (basement laundry tub).
If you have cloudy or milky water it is usually caused by dissolved air bubbles coming out of the water and is harmless (should clear up in a few minutes). If you have rusty or yellow water, rust deposits were stirred up by flushing the fire hydrant. Rusty water will generally clear up in 2-3 hours after the fire hydrant is closed.
When your water is rusty it can stain your laundry. If possible, please avoid doing laundry on the day your street is scheduled. If clothes do get stained, keep them moist; obtain a rust remover and follow the directions on the package. If you need further assistance call Butler Co. Environmental Services at 887-3066.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Fire Department at 777-1133 between 8:00 AM-4:30 PM Monday-Friday. Look for your street in full schedules for each department below.
