Hydrants
Any customer with a fire hydrant located on his property is responsible to make sure that access to the hydrant is not blocked by landscaping, trees and shrubs, or by fences. Fire department personnel must be able to easily get to all sides of a hydrant in the case of a fire.
The City of Stanton flushes fire hydrants twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Flushing of hydrants is done to maintain a high quality of water throughout the system.
Citizens may want to schedule their clothes washing around these flushing periods, as they may experience colored water. It is normal for some discoloration to occur under these circumstances. Please call 402-439-2119 with any questions.
