Selected hydrants will be tested
Eastham will flush selected fire hydrants as part of a review of its fire-protection system. The Water Division’s November 9, 2026, notice says municipal-water customers may see temporary discoloration during the work. It does not give a street-by-street schedule or completion date.
What the evaluation measures
The town says the findings will help establish its Public Protection Classification, a rating insurers use when determining property-insurance rates. The notice announces the evaluation; it does not promise a particular rating or premium change.
