Utica fire hydrant inspections and water discoloration

Overview

The Utica Fire Department scheduled its annual fall fire hydrant inspections to take place from August 31 through September 30.

Officials warned that the inspection and flushing process may stir up sediment in water mains, potentially causing tap water to appear brown or yellow. Residents were advised to check cold water before use and avoid using hot water if discoloration is present to prevent sediment from entering water tanks.

Authorities clarified that there is no boil water advisory in effect, the water supply is not contaminated, and normal water pressure will be maintained throughout the period.
