St. Bernard Parish Fire Department will begin Fire Hydrant Inspections
October 1

 

The St. Bernard Parish Fire Department will begin fire hydrant inspections
Friday, October 1, 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 and 11 a.m. Mondays
through Fridays.

 

This is a necessary procedure performed twice a year to make sure 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 clear up and be flushed through the lines. 

 

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