St. Bernard Fire Department to conduct fire hydrant inspections STARTING
APRIL 1

 

The St. Bernard Parish Fire Department will begin fire hydrants inspections
on Friday, April 1, 2011. 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 and 11 a.m. on Mondays through
Fridays.

 

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 water should be clear.

 

The Fire Department would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may
cause.
