Hydrant Flushing

9/30/2021

The Mt. Zion Pubic Works Department will be conducting hydrant flushing throughout the town starting today, September 30, and continuing through the end of the week.  As a result of the line flushing process, residents in the immediate vicinity of the work may experience temporary discoloration of their water.
