Fire Hydrant Testing
Posted 09/08/23Additional Information About Fire Hydrant Testing in Moundsville
The Moundsville Water Board has been informed that unavoidable issues have delayed Litman Excavating from beginning the initial testing of the hydrants as previously planned. Those issues have been resolved, and the fire hydrant testing is scheduled to begin next week.
The testing should begin on Wednesday, September 13th, 2023 and will take place for approximately two weeks, weather permitting. This will occur during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. A crew will be visible at various hydrants around the City performing the testing.
This hydrant testing will not affect the quality of the water, it will still be the high quality water our customers are accustomed to receiving. However, some residents may experience lower water pressure in areas of town where the flow testing is being completed. Water may also be temporarily discolored. Customers can still safely and confidently use the water during this testing, but are advised to check the water condition before washing clothes.
If any resident have questions about the Fire Hydrant Project, please contact the Marshall County Commission.
