We will flush the water mains using a selected group of hydrants. Crews are scheduled to work between 9 P.M. and 1 A.M. on weeknights unless otherwise noted.
Below is the work schedule including the streets that will be flushed and streets that we expect to have discolored water. The schedule is subject to change based on weather, sediment loads and crew availablity. It will be updated on a daily basis.

System Water Use
How much water does Topsfield use? Below is a chart that shows how much water was used on a daily basis for the past few weeks. The totals include all of the water consumed including water used by customers, leakage, flushing and fire fighting. The volumes on this chart are calculated using pump flow and tank level data from our control system. System demand is calculated by correcting withdrawal volumes for changes in storage tank levels.
