Hydrant Flushing: June 23rd – October 30th
The Department of Public Works will flush all fire hydrants in the Village of Biron. Flushing hydrants ensures they are in good working order and helps flush sediment out of the distribution system.
While flushing is occurring in your area, you may notice a drop in pressure or see discoloration in your water. If discoloration occurs, let your water run for a few minutes, preferably from your outside hose connection, and it should clear up. The water is safe to drink even if it is discolored. If you are concerned with discoloration, you may not want to do laundry on the day hydrants are flushed in your area. If your water pressure remains lower than normal after flushing has occurred in your area, please clean your faucet screen to remove silt and mineral sediment that could be obstructing water flow.
If you have any questions, please contact the Village of Biron at 715-423-6580, or Water Superintendent Kayla Lumaye at (715)323-2001. You may also email publicworks@biron.wi.gov.
