Over the past week and throughout the next several weeks, you may notice our members around town conducting fire hydrant flow testing. During this process, one hydrant will be connected to a fire engine while another nearby hydrant releases water through one of its ports.
Flow testing is performed in addition to the village’s regular hydrant flushing program. Each hydrant is tested every five years, as well as after any major updates or repairs. These tests help our members determine how much water can be expected from each hydrant during an emergency response.
