JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP — Township officials have announced a tentative schedule for upcoming fire hydrant flushing operations throughout several neighborhoods in the Milton and Lake Hopatcong sections of Jefferson Township.
Hydrant flushing is scheduled to take place nightly between approximately 9:00 p.m. and midnight. Residents may experience temporary low water pressure and discolored or brown water during flushing operations.
