Lodi Hydrant Flushing & Valve Testing

2026 Hydrant Flushing Notice

Passaic Valley Water Commission (PVWC) has begun its annual hydrant flushing program throughout its service area. Flushing in Lodi will take place weekdays (excluding holidays), weather permitting, Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Hydrant flushing in Lodi is anticipated to take approximately three weeks. The annual program is expected to continue through November 2026.

This important maintenance program helps ensure a reliable water supply by removing sediment buildup and maintaining proper water flow in our system.

During flushing, customers may notice temporary water discoloration and/or reduced water pressure. This is normal and occurs as sediment and naturally occurring minerals are stirred within the water mains. As a precaution, we recommend avoiding laundry during flushing hours and waiting until water runs clear before using it for drinking or cooking. If you experience discoloration, simply run your cold water tap until it clears.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we perform this essential system maintenance.

PVWC is currently flushing in Lodi Zone 1 (Subzones 5 & 6).
