🔥 City of Morton Fire Department will begin our annual hydrant maintenance on Monday, July 7, 2025. 🔥

Firefighters will flush and test hydrants between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. This program will last around 7 days.

💦 Your water may appear discolored as we flush the hydrants in your neighborhood. Running cold water for several minutes before use should eliminate any discolorations. This is a necessity to make sure our water system is up to the task, if the need were to arise. 💦

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at (601) 732-6252!!

What you can't see from this image are the rapid decisions being made moments before and the actions taken to save the life of total strangers.

With teamwork and collaboration great things are achieved.

Our prayer is that it won't be much longer.
