Will you be back in business soon?

To ensure safe water and protect public health, the Hillsboro Water Department recommends that building owners, managers, and entrepreneurs follow four steps to flush building pipes before reopening:

1. Flush one area and fixture at a time, starting in the basement and working up to other floors.
2. Remove aerators and flush cold water first, then hot water.
3. Set the hot water heater to at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Collect one or more coliform bacteria samples after flushing, and have the samples analyzed by a local water testing lab.
