Hydrant Testing in Lake Charles to Begin June 8
Lake Charles, Louisiana – The City of Lake Charles announced on June 1, 2022, that beginning Wednesday, June 8, 2022, the Lake Charles Fire Department (LCFD) will conduct semi-annual testing of water hydrants in the City and Ward 3, District 2. As one of the conditions for maintaining its Class Two Fire Rating, the LCFD is required to test water hydrants twice a year. This procedure is scheduled to last until Friday, July 1, 2022.
When water hydrants are flushed, iron particles and other settled material are stirred up, resulting in a temporary rust-colored condition in the water lines of residences or businesses when the water is in use, but this is a temporary condition and the water is safe for domestic use.
