Residents in Chattooga County who are served by the Summerville Water Department are being notified of planned hydrant flushing set for Monday, March 30th, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

According to the City of Summerville Fire Department, crews will be working in areas including Highway 48, Smallen Road, and Fish Hatchery Road as part of routine system maintenance.

During this time, residents may notice brief periods of water discoloration. Officials say this is normal and safe, and if it occurs, simply running your tap for a few minutes should allow the water to clear.

The maintenance work includes hydrant lubrication, flushing, and function checks, all of which are essential to ensure the system remains reliable and ready for emergencies.

City officials thank residents for their patience and cooperation as they complete this important work to keep the community protected.
