It’s one of the first hot days of the season and a great reminder that it’s also Heat Safety Week ☀️

Take a moment to check in on yourself, your family, and your neighbors. Staying hydrated, taking breaks in the shade, and knowing the signs of heat exhaustion vs. heat stroke can make all the difference.

Stay cool, Quakertown!

Starting this week the Water Department will begin their hydrant flushing. Each year, the Water Department opens fire hydrants throughout the Borough and neighboring service areas. Flushing will take place April through May.

Why do we do this?
💦 Flushes sediments from mainline pipes
💦 Verifies the proper operation of fire hydrants and valves
💦 Helps find weaknesses in the water system
💦 Checks for closed valves and weak flows in the water mains
💦 Verifies ample flow for fire fighting

During this process, you may notice a drop in pressure and temporary discoloration or cloudiness in your tap water, but rest assured that this is normal and temporary.
