NoHEWaterlooHydrant inspection andmaintenance progranmBeginning in April, the City of Waterloo will beginthe 2017 fire hydrant inspection, maintenance andflushing program. There are approximately 2500fire hydrants within the City and all fire hydrantsare inspected annually. This program is designed toensure that our hydrants will operate properly whenneeded.Due to the complexity of the program, it is difficult to determine which day testingwill be conducted in a specific area. Hydrant operation may cause some temporaryinconveniences such as poor water pressure and in some cases coloured water.Please check your water before use and if discoloured water is detected, please opena cold, hard water tap (non-softened water) and allow the water to run for 5 minutes.If it does not clear, turn it off, wait one hour and let it run another 5 minutes. Continueto do this until it is clearThank you for your co-operation and understanding.Any questions or concerns should be directed to the Utilities Customer ServiceRepresentative at 519-886-2310 ext 30239.P. 519.886.1550 TTY. 1.866.786.3941 waterloo.ca/publicnotices
