Hydrant Flushing

SPRING 
The Spring Hydrant Flushing program will begin on the First Monday of May at 10:00 pm and is scheduled to take five weeks to complete.

FALL
The Fall Hydrant Flushing program will begin on the First Monday of October at 10:00 pm and is scheduled to take five weeks to complete.

Semi-annually our staff opens fire hydrant valves to allow water to flow through the pipes. Systematically opening the hydrants enhances water quality by flushing sediment from the main line pipes, verifies the proper operation of hydrants and valves, and ensures that the hydrant is operational in case of a fire emergency.

If you see discolored water, shut off the tap and wait several minutes. Then check the clarity by running cold water for a few minutes, allowing new water to work its way into your pipes. Avoid washing laundry until water runs clear at the tap.

Storm Water Management


NEW JERSEY STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN, N.J.A.C. 7:8
The State of New Jersey has initiated this plan to keep our water clean and plentiful and to meet federal requirements. Many municipalities and other public agencies must adopt ordinances or other rules prohibiting various activities that contribute to storm water pollution. Having the beautiful Navesink River at our shoreline, the Borough of Red Bank is pleased to be an active participant in this plan.
