**HYDRANT TESTING**

The City of Fairmont will be flushing and testing hydrants in the NASA and Bellview areas on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, between 8 AM and 4 PM. The surrounding areas may be affected

This could possibly discolor the water in the surrounding areas. While work is being performed, there is also a possibility that some customers may experience low pressure, cloudy water, or an interruption of service. If you experience low water pressure, your water is discolored, or your service is interrupted, please follow these instructions. Do not drink the water without boiling it first. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, bathing, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.

The city will not be responsible for any damage caused by discolored water

Customers with no water are to call the Fairmont filtration plant at 304-366-1461 or Fairmont utilities at 304-366-6231.
