Fire & Rescue to conduct hydrant flow testing

In an effort to assure an adequate water supply for fighting fires and to help maintain the lowest insurance ratings possible, Trotwood Fire & Rescue personnel will be checking all fire hydrants on Montgomery County water for flow data.

Trotwood Fire & Rescue will conduct fire hydrant flow tests between June 4 and Aug. 27. It’s recommended that you check your tap water for clarity before doing any laundry during these dates.

This process of flow testing hydrants will cause rust in the water lines. Trotwood Fire & Rescue and Montgomery County Water Dept. no longer offer rust-removing detergents. Should you get rust in your clothing, please follow these steps:

■ Do not permit the clothing to dry

■ Purchase a detergent with rust-removing agents and follow the cleaning instructions

Flow testing will occur in the following neighborhoods during the following weeks:

■ June 4-8: Drexel & Crown Point

■ June 11-15: Townview

■ June 18-22: Northgate

■ June 25-29: Salem Village ■ July 2-6: Shiloh Gardens ■ July 9-13: Westbrook Village ■ July 16-20: Rural Areas (west of Union Road)
