Hydrant Flushing to Begin in Ocean City

Ocean City, MD - The Town of Ocean City's Public Works Department will conduct its bi-annual fall hydrant flushing, starting Sunday, October 19, 2025.

The process will begin on South 1st Street and move north, covering several blocks each day.

Flushing is scheduled to occur during the late evening and early morning hours, though the schedule is subject to change.

Residents and businesses may notice temporary water discoloration, which is not harmful.

The project is expected to be completed by the afternoon of Thursday, October 23, 2025.
