The Kennett Board of Public Works begins its annual fire hydrant inspection, maintenance and flushing program today and will continue through August 3. Inspection, maintenance, and testing hours will be Monday–Thursday 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. There will be no work performed on Fridays or weekends.
All fire hydrants will be inspected within the City of Kennett.
You may notice a drop in water pressure during testing and the water may also become slightly discolored after testing. If you experience discolored water, you may wish to run water from one or more faucets for a couple of minutes until the water is clear again and you may wish to do so prior to cooking, bathing, or washing laundry. The discolored water is nonhazardous but can stain clothing. If your water does not clear within 24 hours, please contact KBPW.
