Pleasantville Hydrant Flushing Begins June 25

PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. - Annual flushing of the village's water hydrants will begin June 25 and is expected to continue until June 29, said department of public works superintendent Jeff Econom. Flushing will occur overnight from midnight to 2 a.m. to reduce the possibility of disruption for Pleasantville residents.

"The reason we’re doing the flushing at night is during the day when we’ve drained the water mains or flushed the water mains, we stir up some sediment in the pipes, so this gives the opportunity for the water and the sediment to settle out," Econom said. "Otherwise you’d be getting brown and dirty water."
