The Maple Shade Utilities staff will be performing a hydrant flushing of the south side of town (south of Main St) beginning the evening of Sunday, July 16th and flushing will continue each night through Thursday, July 20th. No flushing will be performed on Friday, July 21st. The flushing will be done between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The flushing is done to improve water age and remove solids that can accumulate within a water distribution system. This activity can result in “brown water” conditions during the flushing activity. We understand this has been an issue in Maple Shade and we are continuing to work on a long-term solution. However, the water is no less safe to use or drink during this time. The flushing activities are performed to improve overall water quality. In the mornings after flushing has occurred, allow your cold water to run until any discoloration is no longer present. We understand the inconvenience this can cause and thank you for your patience as we work towards a better system for the residents of Maple Shade. If you have any questions, call the Water Department at 856-488-7450 or leave a message for us using this website and we will get back to you.
