City of Hays
The Hays Fire Department will be inspecting and flow testing fire hydrants on Thursday in the area from Canterbury to Commerce between 13th and 22nd streets.
This is part of a coordinated effort by the city to inspect all fire hydrants in the city and flush all water mains annually.
Inspecting fire hydrants ensures that the valves operate properly and that there is no damage or obstructions that will prevent or interfere with the prompt use of fire hydrants in an emergency.
Firefighters are also checking the pressure and volume of water mains in each neighborhood for firefighting purposes.
