Arlington Fire Hydrant Inspections

If you experience rusty water in your home or business, fire officials advise that you run the faucets until you have clean water.

The Arlington Fire Department recently began its annual service inspection of all fire hydrants in every neighborhood in town.

The annual fire hydrant inspection is expected to end in November.

Hydrants in Town will be opened, flowed, and drained of excess water. This procedure helps prevent hydrants from freezing during winter months.

If you experience rusty water in your home or business, fire officials advise that you run the faucets until you have clean water. Do not run your hot water or do laundry until your water is clear. This is not an unsafe condition and is expected in most cases. However, if problems persist please contact the Arlington Water Department at 781-316-3300.
