ST. BERNARD FIRE DEPARTMENT TO BEGIN FIRE HYDRANT INSPECTIONS ON WEDNESDAY,
APRIL 6, 2015

 

The St. Bernard Parish Fire Department shall commence Fire Hydrants
Inspections on Wednesday April 6, 2015. 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 a.m. and 11:00 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.
