If this is your first time taking an MWWA online course please watch this VIDEO
Routine distribution system flushing and hydrant flow tests are critical components of a distribution system operation and maintenance program. While flushing (done to improve/address water quality issues) and flow testing (done to determine the hydraulic integrity) have different goals, they are often done simultaneously in the field.
This is a great class for new operators to help them understand the importance of hydrant flushing and how to do it correctly.
