HYDRANT FLUSHING NOTICE


As part of our continued effort to provide safe and reliable drinking water, Bath Electric, Gas and Water Systems (BEGWS) will be flushing our hydrants. This is done to check the function of hydrants and flush sediment out of the distribution system.


This work will be performed at night to minimize any inconvenience. However, discolored water and temporary changes in water pressure are anticipated. If your water is discolored, please avoid running hot water or washing whites until your water is clear. If discolored water is observed, run cold water through an outside spigot/hose bib. If an outside spigot/hose bib is not available, please run cold water from the closest plumbing fixture to your water meter until your water is clear.


While BEGWS will continue monitoring the water quality during this work, water discoloration poses no health risks. Customers may choose to keep a supply of clear water in the refrigerator for drinking and cooking during periods of any discoloration in the water.
Work, which will take place beginning Sunday night through Friday morning, from 11:00pm until 6:00am, is scheduled to begin Sunday, November 3, 2024, weather permitting, and will continue through the month of November.


Please visit our Facebook page, Bath Electric, Gas and Water Systems – BEGWS, for updates.
We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding.
Any questions can be directed to (607) 776-2173, Option 3.
