St. Bernard Parish Fire Department to do annual Fire Hydrants Inspections

Individual fire hydrants will be opened for about two minutes to record
water pressure and flow readings

 

The St. Bernard Parish Fire Department started Fire Hydrants Inspections on
Monday April 5, 2010. 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 9:00 am and 11:00 am Monday through
Friday. The work is expected to last a few weeks.

 

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.
