Ottawa – The City of Ottawa will be testing fire hydrants city wide beginning on June 14 and ending in October. Hydrants are inspected annually to ensure that they are ready should they be needed by Ottawa Fire Services.
While hydrants are being tested, neighbouring households may experience temporary inconveniences such as discoloured water and reduced water pressure. The discoloured water, which occurs when the testing process disturbs sediments in the water pipes, does not pose any health concerns, but can stain laundry.
Residents living near a fire hydrant scheduled for full-flow testing may experience short term (10 to 20 minutes) drops in water pressure during testing. Water pressure will return to normal once the test is complete.
Residents may also experience rusty coloured water following full-flow testing. If discoloured water is noticed, residents are asked to turn off their tap for 10 to 20 minutes. This should allow work crews enough time to complete the test. After work crews have left the area, residents should turn on a cold water tap and allow it to run for about five minutes or until the water becomes clear.
The planned work schedule is posted on ottawa.ca. This will be updated regularly as work progresses. Unforeseen circumstances may require changes to the work plan, so residents should check the schedule frequently.
The City thanks residents for their patience and co-operation.
