The Milford Water Company will be continuing its annual hydrant flushing program in the Town of Milford starting on Sunday, April 7, 2019. Flushing is scheduled at NIGHT between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. and will continue throughout the month of April/May/June until the entire system has been completed.
