It is strongly recommended that you avoid taking a shower or running washing appliances during active municipal fire hydrant flushing. When utility crews open and flush hydrants in your neighborhood, high-velocity water currents stir up heavy iron rust and mineral sediment in the municipal mains. If you shower or run appliances during this window, that discolored sediment will enter your home's plumbing lines, staining your porcelain tub, ruining loads of laundry, and clogging your showerhead aerators with grit and debris. Verification: Wait until municipal hydrant flushing operations conclude before running household water fixtures.
