LOCATION:

WORK TO BE COMPLETED:
Fire Hydrant Flushing
SCHEDULED DATES:
Monday, June 17 through Friday, July 26, 2024
SCHEDULED TIME:
6:00 AM to 3:30 PM
REASON:
Annual maintenance to maintain water quality standards.
DETAILS:
The UCSC Physical Plant is conducting the annual maintenance/flushing of key fire hydrants throughout campus. This flushing requires a high flow of water for one minute at each hydrant.
IMPACTS:
There may be short delays for pedestrians and vehicles along roadways during individual fire hydrant flushing cycles. You may see/hear crew members completing this work. This maintenance will be taking place during summer in an effort to minimize impacts.
*As a result of hydrant flushing, temporary discoloration of the water can occur inside local buildings. This is caused by minerals dissolved in the water, and is not harmful.
