The local Fire Department plans to conduct hydrant flushing during May. This activity often leads to an increase in inquiries from community members regarding the purpose of the exercise and concerns over water discoloration.

The testing is scheduled from Monday through Friday, starting on May 5th and concluding on May 30th. The procedure generally takes place between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m.

"Durante este periodo, el Departamento de Bomberos y el Departamento de Aguas reciben numerosas llamadas de personas que preguntan sobre las medidas que estamos tomando, por qué su agua puede estar marrón, etc."

The Fire Department aims to reassure the public regarding the potential implications and maintaining transparency throughout the process.

"El Departamento de Bomberos realizará la limpieza de hidrantes durante mayo."

The fire apparatus involved in these activities will be active within the specified hours until the end-of-month deadline. Both departments are prepared to address any related queries from concerned citizens.

"Normalmente, los bomberos revisan los hidrantes entre 8 y 11 de la mañana."

The public works are expected to run as scheduled unless circumstances necessitate otherwise.

"Las pruebas de hidrantes se realizarán de lunes a viernes, comenzando el lunes 5 de mayo y terminando el viernes 30 de mayo."
