[ARCHIVED] Fire hydrant flow testing for March 31

Hydrant Flow Testing graphic

The Hot Springs Fire Department will be performing hydrant flow testing beginning between 7 and 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 31, weather permitting, in the following areas: 

Clubhouse and Mapleleaf circles; Bristlecone, Ponderosa, Shady Woods and Torey courts; Davidson and Grandpoint drives; Pine Meadows Loop; Haymaker and Maily places; Grand Vista Point; Carpenter Dam (500-800 block), Shady Grove (900-1400 block) and Shady Heights roads; and Brodrick and Dalewood streets

Water customers in the immediate vicinity of the work may experience temporary discoloration of their water. If this takes place, customers are advised to clear the pipes in their home or business by running all the water faucets for a few minutes, and to postpone laundry as the discolored water can stain clothes. This discoloration usually lasts no more than a few hours, affecting only the appearance of the water, not the taste or quality. If discoloration lasts more than 24 hours, contact the Utilities Service Center at 501-321-6200. 

During hydrant maintenance and testing, water lines are flushed in order to test hydrant flow and water pressure levels for fire control purposes. The process also helps maintain the integrity of the City’s water distribution system, flushing out sediment or deposits that may naturally occur over time.
