Camden Fire Department Information!!
The Camden Fire Department will be conducting hydrant flow tests throughout the city this week, March 9-13, in order to help develop plans for future emergency operations. As part of this testing, large volumes of water will be flowed from hydrants, which may disturb sediment in water mains.
This may cause discolored water to appear at faucets. Customers should run water from cold taps (not hot) until the water clears, and use caution when doing laundry, as any discolored water may stain clothes. Hydrants are expected to be tested at the following locations today (Monday, March 9), but these locations may change, and sediment may be stirred up several blocks from them.
• 2500 Block of Ridgeview Road NW
• Intersection of Maul Road NW and Sharp Avenue NW
• Intersection of McCullough Street NW and Helen Avenue NW
• Intersection of West Washington Street and Eagle Avenue NW
• Intersection of Ridgeway Street NW and Berg Avenue NW
The department will attempt to prevent or limit as many issues as possible. We appreciate your understanding as we continue working to keep you safe!
