PUBLIC NOTICE 7.17.2026
Public Works recently implemented an operations plan to test and perform routine maintenance on all fire hydrants within the city. This is necessary to ensure fire hydrants are in good working order should the use of one be required. As part of the operations plan, Public Works has begun "black bagging" the inoperable fire hydrants that need repair or replacement. This visually notifies all employees and the Fire Department which fire hydrants need repair or replacement. The visual identification is in addition to notifying the Fire Department of each location. This is a widespread practice for many municipalities when performing fire hydrant checks. Hydrant replacement and/or repairs will begin next week and are being prioritized by the location of the nearest hydrant to the inoperable one. Please do not remove the black bags and know that repairs or replacement will be performed on the affected hydrants.
