Hydrant FlushingThe City of Glendale will conduct its annual water main flushing program through August of 2024. The flushing program is designed to remove natural minerals like iron and calcium collected in the bottom of water of water mains. This operation may cause a temporary discoloration in your water supply. By allowing your water to run for a short period of time, the problem should clear itself. Please be assured that although the water may be discolored, it is safe for human use. Any inconvenience should not last more than a day. If problems persist, or for more information, please call the Glendale Water Utility at (414) 228-1710.
