Union City's streets are set to get a spring clean as the fire department kicks off its annual hydrant flushing ritual. Starting Tuesday, April 9, until Friday, May 10, crews will be making the rounds to ensure the city's firefighting readiness doesn't rust away (literally). This maintenance drill is not just a matter of routine; it's about keeping the water running clear, especially when it's needed most.
However, not everything will flow smoothly, as residents may spot a drop in water pressure or find the liquid flowing from their taps looking more like a vintage rouge than the usual clear current. An informative piece from Union City's official site assures folks that while their H2O might temporarily wear a rusty disguise, it's still fit to drink. "There is no health hazard associated with discolored water," the city's announcement states.
Union City Fire Department urges residents to let the tap run until clarity returns.
The department is not taking this exercise lightly and acknowledges the integral role each resident has in helping the crew help the city. The community is encouraged to get chatty with the Union City Fire Department at (770) 515-7880, where operators will be standing by to flush away any concerns.
