Franklin hydrant flushing schedule

Residents in Franklin may see discolored water over the next few months.

The city will conduct its annual hydrant flush to help clear pipes and check water pressure.

The schedule runs September thru October, according to city officials.

What to know:

  • Hydrants are flushed between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
  • Flushing activities may discolor the water so avoid doing laundry or activities during these times.
  • If you suspect your laundry has been discolored due to the flushing activities you may pick up a compound that should remove the color stain by stopping at the Franklin Municipal Building, 1 Benjamin Franklin Way, on the corner of 4th St and Riley Blvd to request it.
