Genesee County Drain Commissioner’s Office, Division of Water and Waste Services (GCDC – WWS) announces commencement of a routine hydrant maintenance program for waterlines in several Genesee County communities.  

The hydrant maintenance will take place the week of April 21st, and flushing will occur between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. each day until all hydrants are completed.  Residents may experience temporary discoloration and pressure fluctuations while waterlines in their vicinity are being cleared.  No boil water notices are expected, and water quality will be maintained within normal parameters.

This type of maintenance is conducted every year by GCDC-WWS in communities where we maintain O&M services.  Flushing the waterlines will remove any built-up sediment and minerals, and help maintain color, odor, and taste of the water year-round.  This work is part of a robust and continuous maintenance program by GCDC-WWS that ensures the ability to provide the highest possible quality water to our residents. 

The following communities are scheduled to be part of this round of maintenance flushing: 

Flint Township             Flushing Township       Vienna Township

If you have questions or concerns related to your community’s water service, please contact GCDC-WWS Water Superintendent Dan Lince at 810-732-7870.  The after-hours emergency number for the Genesee County Drain Commissioner’s Office is 810-762-3626.
