Fire department crews will conduct tests on weekdays during daylight hours to pose as little inconvenience as possible to residents and businesses
These inspection tests are to check fire hydrants for proper operation, leaks, and other maintenance concerns to ensure the fire hydrants are usable in the event of a fire or other emergency.
During testing, the increased water flow could result in discolored water at your tap. It is safe but can stain clothing, so do not wash clothing in the discolored water. Central Arkansas Water advises you to check your washing machines before washing clothes during the set time frame.
If you have discolored water for more than an extended time, please contact Central Arkansas Water at 501-377-1239

Zone 1 (Blue): Sep. 22 & 28 / Oct. 4 & 7
Zone 2(Green): Sep. 20,23,26 &29
