JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Jamestown firefighters will be flow testing fire hydrants in the SE part of Jamestown this week.

This will last for about the next 3 weeks. You’re asked to please use extreme caution in this area.

“The Fire Department flows about a third of the City’s hydrants each year,” Jamestown Fire Chief Jim Reuther states. “The testing provides the department with the flow pressure and volume of water from each hydrant. Additionally, it reveals hydrants with mechanical problems. Flow testing is one of the ways the department uses to ensure hydrants are operable and give the proper water flow during an emergency.”

Call 701-252-1441 if you have any questions.
