Avon Lake Fire Department Begins Hydrant Testing

The fire department will be flushing fire hydrant for a few months in order to test them.

The Avon Lake Fire Department will begin testing and inspecting fire hydrants this week by flushing the water from them. This testing will go across the city from east to west and will last until September.

The department will post signs at intersections near homes on streets due to have their hydrants flushed. They also advise inspecting your water for any discoloration. If that is the case, they advise letting the tap run until the color returns clear.

Contact the Avon Lake Fire Department for information on the flushing schedule and Avon Lake Regional Water for questions about water quality.
