Fire Hydrant Flushing - The Village of Middleville Public Works Department will be flushing fire hydrants throughout the month of May 2026.

Village water customers may experience some discoloration, and or pressure differences while this regular maintenance is being accomplished. The water remains safe to drink during this process. Usually letting the tap run for a few minutes will clear up any discoloration and normal pressures will return once flushing operations have been completed.

If you have any questions regarding this operation, contact the Department of Public Works at 269-795-3385. We appreciate your patience in our endeavor to provide you the highest quality water possible.
