WILLINGBORO MUNICIPAL UTILITIES AUTHORITY
Hydrant Flushing – Fall 2024
Customers of the Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority are being notified of our semi-annual hydrant flushing program.
To maintain high quality of water and reliable service to our customers, the Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority will begin opening fire hydrants to flush sediment from its pipes, monitor water flows and pressures, and provide visual inspection of the hydrants. Customers may notice a drop in water pressure or may experience discolored water. At no time will the water quality be compromised. The water is safe to use.
Below is a list of the areas/parks we will be flushing beginning September 30, 2024:

During the flushing program, Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority is offering its customers the following tips:
Check for discolored water by running the COLD water only before using the washing machine or dishwasher. Wait until the COLD water runs clear at the tap before doing laundry or operating the dishwasher. Note: If laundry becomes stained, do not put your laundry in the dryer. Rewash clothes immediately using detergent and add a rust remover. Most rust removers can also be used on stained fixtures.
If water pressure or water volume seems to be low after hydrant flushing has been completed, check faucet screens (aerator) for trapped particles.
Place garbage and recycling containers behind the curb to avoid obstruction.
Refrain from placing loose leaves and debris at the curb as this will only create a problem for the storm drains. Place the leaves and debris at least a foot from the curb to allow the water to run freely.
The Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority apologizes for any inconvenience. Thank you for your patience during this time.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact the Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority at (609) 877-2900.
