Hydrant Testing April 15 through May 31, 2008
The Evanston Fire and Life Safety Services Department in cooperation with the City of Evanston Water Department conducts the annual city-wide hydrant testing program.
The program is conducted from 9 a.m. through 3 p.m.
Each hydrant in the City will be opened and allowed to flow water for a short period. This procedure provides valuable information on the status of the hydrant water system.
Some residents may notice a discoloration in their tap water while the hydrants on their block are being tested. The discoloration should be short lived and can be eliminated by flowing tap water.
If the discoloration continues, please contact the Water Department at (847) 866-2942.
