Discolored water concerns addressed

The Merchantville-Pennsauken Water Commission is interested in your concerns about the water discoloration issues brought on by the increased level of road construction taking place all across the borough. They hear you and they are taking action. On Sunday, January 18th, the MPWC engaged in an aggressive form of hydrant flushing. This process targets select valves in the street, closes them in order to increase pressure directed to hydrants that were opened to flush out any mineral deposits that have gathered in the water mains. Further targeted flushing will take place in the following weeks. If anyone has any questions, comments and/or concerns please call the MPWC at (856) 663-0044 where an operator will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, to provide you with assistance.
