St. Bernard Fire Department to begin hydrant inspections Thursday, Oct. 1

Inspections will be done Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

 

The St. Bernard Parish Fire Department will begin fire hydrant inspections
Thursday, October 1.  Throughout the parish individual fire hydrants will be
opened for approximately two minutes to record water pressure and flow
readings.

 

The inspections times will be between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Monday through
Friday.

 

This is a necessary procedure performed twice a year to ensure that all fire
hydrants in the parish work properly. Residents may experience rusty water
during this testing. By running water for five minutes, the rust should be
flushed and clear up. The Fire Department would like to apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause.
