🚨 REMINDER 🚨 Arlington Fire Department started annual Fire Hydrant Inspections & Flushing this month. Inspections run from April 7 - June 20 to ensure our hydrants are fully operational in case of an emergency. 🕘 Flushing Hours: Most hydrants are flushed between 9 A.M. and 4 P.M. daily. During this time, you may notice the following when flushing occurs in your neighborhood: 💧 Temporary decrease in water pressure 💧 DISCOLORED WATER (it’s safe to use) - The result of sediment stirred up during flushing - To clear discoloration, simply run your cold water for a few minutes. - We recommend avoiding washing laundry during this time. 💧 If you continue to experience low water flow, try cleaning the screen at the tip of your faucet, as mineral deposits may have built up. Thank you for your patience as we work to ensure our hydrants are ready when they're needed most!
