Rock Hall officials have some tips for residents during hydrant flushing season. Prior to local hydrants being flushed, you may want to obtain water for your everyday use including drinking, cooking, etc. When the flushing is taking place, water quality may temporarily be reduced. Using water for tasks such as dishwashing, laundry, or showering may result in the discoloration/staining of your clothes or household items Once the hydrants in your area have completed their flushing, it will not be long until your water is ready for normal use again.
