Bronson To Do Hydrant Flushing In Early May
By: Mike Stiles - Tuesday, April 27, 2021

BRONSON – Just like other area communities, the City of Bronson will be flushing their fire hydrants.

Bronson City Manager Brandon Mersman says this is being done in keeping with the practice of regular routine water main cleaning. The flushing will start at 12:01 AM on Monday, May 3 for the Northern section of the City. This is the area north of U.S. 12. Then on Tuesday May 4 at 12:01 AM, hydrants in the Southern section of the City will be flushed. This is the area south of U.S. 12.

Mersman says the City apologizes for any inconveniences this process may cause. On occasion, water in the areas of flushing may temporarily have a reddish or orange rusty appearance. This is because flushing can disturb iron sediment in the water pipes and cause discoloration.

If this happens, please run your cold water at the tap closest to your water meter for several minutes to clear your lines. The City of Bronson advises the public to refrain from doing laundry during the two days the flushing will be taking place.
