HFD

The Hays Fire Department will be inspecting and flow testing fire hydrants on Monday, April 15, 2019 in the area of Hall St. to Fort St. between 27th St. and 16th St. and also from Main St. to Vine St. between 21st St. and 12th St.

This is part of a coordinated effort by the city of Hays 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.
