Sulphur Fire Department to Test and Inspect Hydrants Throughout the Month of March
Published February 25, 2022
The City of Sulphur has announced that the Sulphur Fire Department will test and inspect the city’s fire hydrants throughout March. Residents may notice discolored tap water while firefighters flush the City’s fire hydrants. This annual testing is required to keep the Fire Department’s Class 2 fire rating and to ensure that hydrants are working properly for fire protection. In addition to maintaining the fire rating, the testing monitors the health of the City’s water system, identifies weak points, stirs up materials that settle in the hydrant, and cleans out the lines. It is not necessary to be concerned if you notice discoloration in your water.
Before washing clothes or drinking, residents are encouraged to run the water until it is clear. In most cases, the water will clear in about five minutes. Residents should wait an hour and try again if the discoloration persists.
