It's the flushing of the hydrants !

The Norwich Fire District flushes out their hydrants twice a year to clear out any sediment in the system.

Nov 6, 2020

One my way over to play some golf on one of the few nice weather days left before the season ends, I noticed some activity on main street and thought I would take a moment to check it out. The Norwich Fire district was conducting it’s twice annual flushing of the hydrants duty to keep the lines a flowing and remove sediment that builds up. I took a few photos and then went on my way.
