FIRE HYDRANT FLUSHING

Monday, May 4th - Friday, May 8th. The City’s Water Department will be Flushing fire hydrants in the areas listed below. City hydrants are flushed regularly to ensure they are in working order for fire protection, and to remove sediment in pipes. These sediments, which do not pose a health concern, are comprised mostly of minerals which have accumulated over time. The annual flushing program helps to keep fresh and clear water throughout the distribution system. Customers may notice a slight drop in water pressure or temporary water discoloration. Restaurants and those using washing machines are cautioned to check their water supply. If tap water does become discolored, turn on several cold-water faucets to run for a short time until the water runs clear. Using more than one faucet allows the water to clear faster.

Monday, May 4 through Friday, May 8, 2026:\
East Baltimore St, Trevanion Rd, Trevanion Terrace, Kings Dr, Kings Ct, Courier Dr, Courier Ct, Grand Dr, Cambridge Ct, Dunkle Ct, Saddletop Dr, Ponytail Lane, Butterfly Dr, Hayride Lane, Horseshoe Lane, Clubside Dr, Windy Hills Dr, Starboard Dr, Starboard Ct, Zephyr Ct, Carnival Dr, Fairground Ave, First St, Second St, Third St, Fourth St, Monocacy Circle, Divern St, George St, Franklin St, Broad St, Courtland St, Antrim St, Canoe Ct, Bancroft St, Kenan St in Copperfield, Morning Frost St, Huntinghorn Ct, Huntinghorn St, Bison St, Bentley St in Roberts Mill Run, Chevro Dr, Breakiron St, Water Run St, and Amicus St.

December 8, 2008: On this day in Taneytown’s history, the city took an important step toward protecting its historic core. Ordinance No. 8-2008 was adopted, establishing design standards for the Old Town area and creating the framework that would later evolve into today’s design review process.

This moment signaled a shift in how Taneytown approached preservation. For the first time, the city set clear expectations for safeguarding the architectural character of its downtown, giving future leaders a modern tool to balance growth with heritage. The work started on this date continues to shape preservation policy and community discussions today. (image is ai generated)
