Beware of discolored water: Franklin to flush hydrants over next 35 days

The City of Franklin Hydrant Flushing campaign will run from Aug. 26 through Oct. 2. Hydrants are flushed between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Flushing activities may discolor the water so avoid doing laundry or similar activities during these times. If you suspect your laundry has been discolored due to the flushing activities, you may pick up a compound that should remove the stain, by stopping at the Franklin Municipal Building, 1 Benjamin Franklin Way, to request it.
