These activities are performed annually to ensure
adequate water is available for fire suppression needs. If a fire hydrant is in your yard, please be
sure that it is clear of any obstructions.
The flow testing procedure requires firefighters to
open fire hydrants and flow water for several minutes to obtain accurate flow
pressures. This procedure may cause tap
water in the area to become discolored or cloudy. This is a temporary condition that can be
corrected by letting the tap water run until clear, which could take a few
minutes. If the water remains discolored
after a few minutes of flowing, please contact Ormond Beach Public Works at
386-676-3220.
