FIRE HYDRANT FLUSHING

Posted on: November 6, 2026

The City of Martins Ferry Water Department will be conducting routine hydrant flushing to ensure the quality and safety of your water supply. This will take place from MONDAY NOVEMBER 9TH TO FRIDAY NOVEMBER 13TH BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 8:00AM TO 3:00PM.

During the flushing process in your area, you may experience temporary water discoloration or pressure drop. This is a normal and expected occurrence. If you notice any discoloration in your water, we recommend turning on the cold water faucet and let it run for a few minutes until the water is clear. You may also want to hold off doing laundry until the evening hours.

As Always, any questions or concerns related to the hydrant flushing process, please feel free to contact Donnie Neavin at 740-973-0763
