May 3, 2013: Fire Hydrant testing - Weaverville area

The Weaverville Fire Department will be flow testing hydrants in the Weaverville area during the week of May 6-10 and 13-17, weather permitting. Areas around New Stock Road, Woodland Hills, Country Creek, Pinebrook Farms, Leisure Mountain Road, Old Home Road, and Old Marshall Highway will be affected. Water quality will be maintained and is safe to drink; however, flow testing will sometimes result in discolored water - care should be taken before washing white laundry by ensuring that water is running clear.

The tentative schedule for flow testing is as follows:

Beginning of the week, May 6-10: Knoll Ridge Drive, Highlander Road, Leisure Mountain Road, Barnwood Drive, Fox Chase and surrounding streets.

End of the week, May 6-10: Periwinkle Drive, New Stock Road, Country Creek, Pinebrook Farms and surrounding streets.

Beginning of week, May 13-17: Old Home Road, Old Marshall Highway.
