Monroe Fire Department Conducting Citywide Fire Hydrant Flow Testing Through December

Tuesday, October 22, 2019 - 9:45am

Monroe Fire Chief Terry Williams would like to remind citizens and business owners that the Monroe Fire Department will continue to conduct citywide fire hydrant inspections and water flow testing Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 am-3:00 pm. The inspections and testing will last through the end of December 2019. 

These inspections are necessary to ensure proper operation of our fire hydrants, as well as to ensure enough water is available in the event of a fire emergency in your area. During these times residents may see a mild fluctuation in water pressure and the possibility of discolored water. 

To minimize problems that might occur, we ask that you check your water supply thoroughly before cooking or doing laundry. If you experience discolored water, please call our Water Department at 318-329-2385 so that the problem may be resolved as soon as possible.
