The City of Hubbard will begin the 2023 Flushing Program of all waterlines maintained by the City of Hubbard. Some of these waterlines are located in Hubbard Township, so please do not be surprised to see us.

This is an important part of system maintenance as well as an E.P.A. requirement aimed at exercising our infrastructure and keeping the highest quality of water supplied in our system.

The flushing will begin on Sunday, April 29, 2023. Flushing will be between the hours of 10:00 PM to 6:30 AM. No interruptions of service are expected as a result of the flushing. Residents may experience some cloudy or discolored water during use after flushing, but this will clear shortly. It is suggested that residents flush internal water lines and fixtures until they run clear water. Running several cold-water faucets at the same time will help clear water faster.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation. The City of Hubbard strives to provide our customers with the highest quality water possible.

Due to the recent wind storm on Saturday, March 25, the City’s Street Department will be picking up fallen branches starting Monday, April 3, 2023 and will end Friday, April 7, 2023.  This is a Branch pick-up ONLY.
