Hydrants and Hydrant Testing

The Northern Kentucky Water District, and the Erlanger Fire/EMS Department will be conducting hydrant testing starting on Monday May 17, 2010.  We plan to complete the hydrant testing on Friday May 28, 2010.

Hydrants are tested and flowed twice a year during the spring and fall.  This process is completed to ensure that all fire hydrants are operating correctly and flushing the water mains of any sediment that may have built up from the previous flushing.  There may be times that discolored water could make it to your home and faucets; to alleviate this problem, run a few of your faucets until the water becomes clear.  A special note to remember is to flush from faucets before using clothes washer to prevent damage to your clothing.  Any questions, comments, and or concerns should be directed to the Northern Kentucky Water District at (859) 578-9898.
