What is the Water Main (Hydrant) Flushing Program?
To improve water quality and minimize discoloration, water mains are comprehensively flushed by a technique known as Conventional flushing. The procedure is performed in warm-weather months and involves the systematic opening and closing of hydrants, one section of main at a time, to force the water through the pipes at high velocity, removing accumulated mineral sediment until the water is clear. The operation can take from a few minutes to over an hour, although most last about 30 minutes.
How Will Flushing Affect Water Service?
When flushing crews are working close to your residence or business, you may experience periods of very low pressure or even a complete stoppage of service. Flushing operations may also lead to discolored water, which can be drawn into homes and businesses if the water is being used during or immediately following the flushing. Such events should affect customers for a few hours at most. The discoloration is caused by iron (red color) or manganese (black color) particles being dislodged from the water main which can stain porcelain and laundry. If discoloration occurs, open the cold tap nearest the water meter—usually a basement sink—to full flow until the water runs clear. In some situations, this may take 5 to 10 minutes. It is also advised that you make sure your water is clear before doing laundry or other projects for which discolored water could cause problems.
A precise schedule of flushing operations is difficult to determine more than a day or two in advance. If you wish to be notified before work will be done in your area, please call Water Department at 744-2515
We ask for your patience and understanding during this critical main cleaning process.

Town of Crawford Supervisor Mike Menendez is pleased to announce the 2026 budget will once again be under the New York State Tax Cap. We have been under the Tax Cap every year since it was enacted. Despite increased costs for insurance, retirement benefits and essential services, the Town Board was able to maintain a small increase in taxes of 1.55% for general services (A) and highway (DA), and just a 0.59% increase in the overall rate including all budget lines and special districts. This amounts to about a $24.00 annual increase for a home with a market value of over $447,000. The Town remains one of the most financially stable Towns in Orange County, as we look to continue numerous town improvement projects in 2026.
