Fall Water Main Flushing 2024 - September 10, 2024

Norfolk staff will soon be providing routine fall maintenance to the water mains throughout the County.  

During a flush, hydrants are opened and allowed to flow in a controlled manner in one direction. This increased flow scours pipe walls, cleaning the sediment from inside the water mains.
