The Cumberland Water Department’s regularly scheduled hydrant flushing has been delayed until the Fall. This decision was made based on COVID-19 ramifications including staffing and the availability of the necessary chemicals. When the flushing schedule is finalized for the Fall it will be published on the Town website and the newspaper.
Thank you.
