2026 Ward 1 Unidirectional Waterline Flushing Schedule

The Sussex Water and Wastewater Department will be initiating its annual unidirectional waterline flushing starting on May 3 until May 20. To reduce any inconvenience, the Department will carry out the Hydrant Flushing during the overnight hours, approximately from 10:30 PM to 5:00 AM each night.

Our Flushing Program helps keep Sussex’s water system running at its best. By regularly flushing the lines, we maintain water quality, keep waterlines clear, and make sure isolation valves and fire hydrants are working properly. It also gives our team the opportunity to check and maintain hydrants across the community, helping ensure they’re ready when needed to support our fire service.

Schedule for Ward 1:

You may experience reduced water pressure or temporary discoloration of the water while the work is being conducted in your area. If the discoloration continues after the flushing has been completed, please contact the Town Office at (506) 432-4540.
