College Park checks its fire hydrants

The College Park Fire Department will be conducting its bi-annual fire hydrant inspections this week.

The department started inspecting and flushing all public fire hydrants Monday and will continue through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Because water may appear cloudy or discolored immediately following hydrant flushing, the department recommends that residents not do laundry during flushing activities in their areas. Residents experiencing discolored water should run their faucets for 3-5 minutes or until water runs clear.
