9/22/14 - Residents on the Hartland Township water system are being advised that the township will be flushing its hydrants through October 2nd. All of the townshipâs hydrants are flushed twice a year to remove the buildup of rust that accumulates in the mains and may clog pipes. Beginning today, different parts of the system will be flushed over the next week and a half, which may cause customers on that part of the system to experience discolored water. Residents are encouraged not to do laundry when hydrants are being flushed near them, and that if their water appears rust-colored they should let it run for 10-15 minutes to clear their pipes. Crews today will flush hydrants in the area of M-59 to Cullen Road and at Oakbrook Apartments. Tomorrow, they will cover M-59 from the old high school to US-23 as well as the Autumn Woods subdivision. A full schedule can be found by following the link below. If residents experience a sustained loss in pressure, or the discoloration does not go away, they should contact United Water at (810) 632-9405 or Hartland Township Department of Public Works at (810) 632-7498 ex. 224.
