Firefighter of the Month

Firefighter question and answer forum

Occasionally you may notice firefighters flowing water from hydrants this is a very important job they must perform

Reasons for testing:
Determination of how much water is available for fire protection
 Condition of the water distribution system and means of determining needed improvements
Detection of closed valves in the water system, and general maintenance of hydrants
Familiarize the firefighters with the type of water availability in order to be better prepared for a fire

How will this affect me?

You may notice a discoloration in your water from the sediments and iron stirred up by the flushing, although this may look alarming your water is still safe to use and drink.  Running your cold water for several minutes till it runs clear will generally alleviate this problem.  Avoid doing laundry or running the dishwasher until the water is clear again.  This will alleviate any problems of clothes becoming discolored from the sediments in the water, or having to re-run the dishwasher.

If you have any questions you may call the Fire Department at 944-7888.
