Genesee County Drain Commissioner’s Office, Division of Water and Waste Services (GCDC – WWS) is 
pleased to announce the completion of our fall hydrant maintenance program for waterlines in 
Genesee County communities we service. 

The routine hydrant maintenance began in September. This type of maintenance is conducted every 
year by GCDC-WWS in communities where we maintain O&M services. Flushing the waterlines 
removes any built-up sediment and minerals, and helps maintain color, odor, and taste of the water 
year-round. This work is part of a robust and continuous maintenance program by GCDC-WWS that 
ensures the ability to provide the highest possible quality water to our residents. 

In total, GCDC crews 4,100 hydrants were winterized in the following communities:

Clayton Township      Davison Township       Fenton Township          Flint Township
Gaines Township       Montrose Township     Mt. Morris Township     Mundy Township
Richfield Township    Thetford Township       Vienna Township
 
If you have questions or concerns related to your community’s water service, please contact GCDCWWS Water Superintendent Dan Lince at 810-732-7870.
