Fire Hydrant Information

As the Fire Department conducts their annual testing of the fire hydrants you may have rusty/dirty water.

Before Flushing

  • Fill a bottle or jug with fresh tap water and store in refrigerator for cooking/drinking

During & After Flushing

  • Do not wash any white or light colored laundry during flushing; laundry stained during this time should not be placed in the dryer. Rewash the clothes/linens with a stain remover such as Red-B-Gone, Iron Out, or Fels Naptha.
  • Open cold water faucets and let water run until clear. Turn off faucet.
  • Open hot water faucet and let water run until clear. Turn off faucet.
  • Once both are clear, water is ready for use again.
  • Wash dark color clothes before any light/white laundry.
