After loosing an entire batch of fry last year due to my local hydrant flushing that many residents new nothing about, I finally received a notice from them of the next upcoming flush.
Now being prepared I can monitor my water before using it. Which usually means running it for about 30 minutes or so before using it and testing it as many times as I can to make sure its back to normal before using it.
So to all you folks who have this done in your community, check with your village hall and make sure you have no suprises like I did.
Here was their notice.
