City Of South Gate: Sheared Fire Hydrant - Southern/ Truba

Press release from the City of South Gate:

August 2, 2021

Water staff is responding to a sheared fire hydrant at Southern and Truba.

High flow disruptions like sheared fire hydrants, fire flow tests, or flushing are examples of how velocity can be increased which scours the internal lining of pipes breaking away natural deposits. If discoloration occurs, we request that the public immediately call the Public Works Water Division at (323) 563-5790 to notify and report the issue.
