Fire hydrant flushing begins next week

BEDFORD – The following is a tentative schedule for the flushing of fire hydrants for the City of Bedford.

The schedule is subject to change if each day’s work is not completed as scheduled or in case of inclement weather.

Customers may notice fluctuations in pressure and/or discoloration of their tap water during hydrant flushing.
