This testing may result in localized discolored water and brief periods of reduced service pressure. If residents experience discolored water, they are advised to let the water run briefly to clear it. Should discolored water or low-pressure conditions persist, residents should contact the Water Department at (413) 499-9339. Hydrant flow testing is a procedure that contributes to the maintenance of the water distribution system. The city acknowledges and appreciates residents' patience during this process.
