(KLZA)-- Falls City Utility staff are flushing fire hydrants.
The hydrant flushing take place Monday through Thursday, between 7:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
There are more than 200 hydrants to be flushed. The project should be completed by May 24.
This regular flushing process serves several important purposes. It helps to remove sediment, rust, and other debris that can accumulate in the hydrant's water pipes over time. Clearing this buildup ensures that water can flow freely and at the necessary pressure during emergencies, enabling firefighters to respond swiftly and effectively.
By routinely flushing fire hydrants, the city is able to safeguard public safety and maintain the reliability of the hydrants.
