News and Announcements

Water Line & Hydrant Flushing

Public Works will be flushing water lines and fire hydrants throughout the City of Dayton starting October 16th. The process of flushing is an important maintenance activity which will refresh the water system. 

As a result of the line flushing, you may experience temporary discoloration of the water. This discoloration consists primarily of harmless silt and air and does not affect the safety of the water.   If you experience this, please clear your pipes in your own home by running all water faucets for a minute or two.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call City Hall at 503-864-2221.
