Officials with the Bossier Parish Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 1 will inspect the Village Water System's fire hydrants beginning Wednesday, October 16, and continuing through Friday, October 18.
Bossier Fire District #1 Fire inspectors will start inspecting hydrants on Fire Station Road. The inspection will involve a five-minute flush of each hydrant, testing for pressure and flow rate for public health and firefighting operations. This process can disturb sediment within the water distribution system, potentially leading to temporary water discoloration. While this is a normal occurrence, it may raise concerns for residents. If you notice discolored water in your home, we recommend flushing your water systems until the sediment clears.
Annual hydrant inspections and flow testing are conducted to identify and address potential issues within the water system.
