Attention residents and businesses in the Village of Bath, New York and the Town of Bath, New York
This is a Hydrant Flushing Notice
Hydrant flushing will occur nightly from Sunday, October 4, 2026 at 10:00 PM through
Friday, October 9, 2026 at 6:00 AM, weather permitting.
As part of our continued effort to provide safe and reliable drinking water, Bath Electric, Gas and
Water Systems (BEGWS) will be flushing hydrants to verify proper operation and remove
sediment from the distribution system.
This work will be performed at night to minimize inconvenience. Temporary water discoloration
and pressure fluctuations may occur. If water becomes discolored, avoid using hot water or
washing whites until the water clears. Run cold water from an outside spigot or the fixture
closest to your water meter until clear.
Water discoloration during flushing does not pose a health risk. Customers may wish to keep a
supply of clear water on hand for drinking and cooking.
Hydrant flushing will occur nightly from Sunday, October 4, 2026 at 10:00 PM through
Friday, October 9, 2026 at 6:00 AM, weather permitting.

understanding.
