Water pipe flushing is performed on distribution systems to remove any accumulated sediments or other impurities which have been deposited in the pipe. Water pipe flushing also improves the flow of water through the distribution system, allowing it to work at capacity. Flushing is performed by isolating sections of the distribution system and opening flushing valves or more commonly fire hydrants to cause a large volume of flow to pass through the isolated pipeline and suspend the settled sediment. 3, record 1, English, - water%20pipe%20flushing
