The Westminster Water Division will be flushing fire hydrants and performing routine water system maintenance in the areas below on October 8, 9, 15, and 16, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Flushing Oct. 8-9  Flushing Oct. 15-16

  • October 8-9: Between Magnolia St. and Ward St., from Edinger Ave. to McFadden Ave.
  • October 15-16: Between Meinhardt Rd. and Edwards St., from Westminster Blvd. to Garden Grove Blvd.

This routine process removes sediment from water mains and ensures the continued quality and reliability of our water system.

During this time, you may notice:

  • Temporary water discoloration.
    • We recommend postponing laundry and using bottled water for cooking or drinking if needed. The water is still safe, though it may not look or taste ideal.
  • Water flowing along streets and gutters.
    • In some areas, it may look like localized street flooding. This is expected and is a normal part of the process. It is not a leak or broken water line.
Is this a waste of water? No. Flushing hydrants is an essential part of maintaining a safe and reliable water supply.
