The Athens Fire Department will flush and test hydrants on East State Street and Court Street on Thursday, Aug. 1, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. You may experience discolored water due to iron sediment stirred up from increased flow, but the water remains safe. No boil order will be issued for hydrant flushing, but the city recommends you do not wash laundry during this time.
Direct questions to the Athens Fire Department at 740-592-3301 or the Engineering & Public Works Department at 740-593-7636.
