(KLZA)-- Fire hydrants in Auburn will be tested throughout the month of October.
The Board of Public Works will operate all 200 fire hydrants to make certain they are functional. High velocity flushing removes sediment that may have settled in the water mains.
Auburn BPW customers may find temporary discoloration of the water during these periods. This is normal and the water remains safe to drink. Before washing clothes on the testing days, check the water for clarity. If it is not clear, please run water until it becomes clear and then wash clothes.
The testing dates will be Tuesdays and Thursdays during the weeks of October 13 and 15; 20 and 22, and the 27th and 29th.
The BPW apologized for any inconvenience and appreciates everyone's cooperation.
If the testing is not performed, it could affect eh community’s fire insurance rates.
