Troy’s Fire Department will start the project on Monday, June 5, the city said on its official Facebook page.
“The City’s water is always safe to drink,” the City said. “However, if you notice a brownish tint in your tap water during your area’s hydrant flushing period, run the water for two to three minutes or until the water is clear.”

Hydrant flushing is a controlled procedure to maintain the city’s fire hydrants and water distribution system, according to the city.
It helps ensure adequate water flow is available to firefighters, residents, and businesses.
Flushing also helps maintains the city’s water clarity and quality by clearing iron and mineral deposits from the water mains.
