Spring flushing

Riverhead Water District’s annual spring flushing begins April 12 and continues through April 25, with most work scheduled overnight.

Beginning on the evening of Monday, April 21, and continuing for three weeks through May 10, the Riverhead Water District will be flushing out its system, cleaning its mains of any accumulated sediments. 

The Riverhead Water District’s annual flushing of water mains will start on the evening of April 17 and run until May 7.
