(KLZA)-- The Falls City Volunteer Fire Department has announced a plan to repaint all of the fire hydrants in Falls City.
The Department has hired a company to sandblast and remove all paint from the fire hydrants. Once that is done, they will be painted red. Once the paint has cured, firefighters will paint the tops of the hydrants with the color coding indicating the water flow for the hydrant.
The project will begin in the south part of Falls City on September 19 with approximately 70 hydrants, up to 15th Street being completed this year. The rest of the hydrants, totaling around 207 will be completed by the end of 2023.
The Fire Department is asking Falls City residents to allow access to the hydrants around their homes and businesses, and if possible, remove any flowers, grass or weeds to aid in the process.
The Falls City Volunteer Fire Department thanks the residents of Falls City for their continued support.
