Hydrant Inspections to Begin
The Washington Township Fire Department will soon begin the semi-annual maintenance and inspection of fire hydrants throughout the Centerville-Washington Township community. This project is expected to last approximately six weeks beginning April 13 and ending near May 22, 2009.
Residents may notice discolored water during individual inspections and may wish to refrain from washing laundry or dishes until the water clears. A slight decrease in water pressure may also be present while water is flowing from a hydrant. The regular inspection and maintenance of fire hydrants is essential to ensure adequate water resources during fire and other related emergencies. Should a fire hydrant malfunction or become inaccessible, fire department operations may be hampered. Hydrant deficiencies are identified and corrected as a result of these inspections.
Inspections and maintenance activities routinely take place Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Persons who receive this notice are asked to pass the word to family, friends and neighbors living in the Centerville-Washington Township area.
