The City of Summerville Fire Department will be conducting essential hydrant flushing throughout the city from Monday, June 30th to Wednesday, July 2nd, 2025, between the hours of 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM daily. This proactive maintenance is a vital component in ensuring the effectiveness of the city’s fire suppression system and maintaining water quality for all residents.

The flushing process is scheduled to primarily impact North Summerville and Pennville, with specific attention to the Highland Avenue, Selman Avenue, and Commerce Street areas. During this maintenance period, Fire Department personnel will perform a series of critical tasks on each hydrant, including lubrication, flushing, and functional checks.

Residents in the affected areas may experience brief periods of water discoloration. City officials want to reassure the public that this is completely normal and safe. If discolored water occurs, citizens are advised to simply run their tap for a few minutes until the water clears.

The City of Summerville expresses its gratitude for the cooperation and understanding of its residents as the Fire Department carries out this important work. This proactive maintenance is crucial for keeping the community protected and prepared.
