Fire Hydrant Being Tested

The Monroe Fire Department, in conjunction with the City Water Distribution Department, will be conducting our annual citywide fire hydrant inspections.  The inspections will begin Monday, October 9 and will last through Friday, December 1.  The hydrant flow inspections will be conducted during the work day between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays. 

These inspections are necessary to ensure proper operation of the fire hydrant as well as to ensure a sufficient supply of water in the event of a fire emergency in your area. During these times residents may see a mild fluctuation in water pressure and the possibility of discolored water. 

To minimize problems that might occur the team has asked that you check your water supply thoroughly before cooking or doing laundry. In the event that there is a discoloration in the water please call 318-329-2385.
