Hydrant Flushing
Posted 11/10/26
The Moundsville Water Department will be flushing fire hydrants, weather permitting, during the week of November 16th - November 20th, 2026. This will occur Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm.
The fire hydrant flushing will begin in Maxwell Acres on Monday, November 16th, 2026 and then will continue to be systematically undertaken throughout the City of Moundsville for the rest of the week.
Any areas not completed within this week will be flushed the week of November 30th – December 4th.
Residents may experience lower water pressure in some parts of town. Water may also be discolored. Customers are advised to check the water condition before washing clothes.
The Moundsville Water Board conducts regular fire hydrant flushing as part of its ongoing efforts to maintain the integrity, reliability, and operational efficiency of the fire hydrants within the City. This routine maintenance program also supports drinking water quality by helping to remove accumulated sediment and mineral deposits, promotes water circulation within the main waterlines, and provides an opportunity for the Moundsville Water Board personnel to evaluate fire hydrant operation and identify potential maintenance needs. This ensures that fire hydrants remain operational and available for emergency response.
The Moundsville Water Board thanks you for your patience while we perform this necessary maintenance to our system and apologizes for any inconvenience that this may create.
