Maintenance of the hydrants in Deining: dates and important information
Regular maintenance of hydrants is an important part of municipal infrastructure. In the municipality of Deining, inspections and maintenance work on the underground and above-ground hydrants will be carried out again this year. These measures are essential for the safety and functionality of the water supply.
The fire department will carry out the maintenance work in Deining over several evenings. The dates are set for September 19th, 23rd, 25th and 26th, 2024, from approximately 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. During this time, the hydrants are checked for functionality and maintained, which also includes water being withdrawn from the hydrants.
Water withdrawal and pressure changes
When water is withdrawn, there may be a short-term increase in water consumption, potentially leading to a drop in household pressure. This means that water supplies in affected areas could be temporarily affected. Citizens should prepare for the possibility of experiencing reduced pressure in the water mains network.
Another aspect the community would like to address is the possibility that the pressure changes will loosen sediment from the pipes. These sediments can cause the water to temporarily take on a brownish or cloudy color. However, the municipality assures that this “brown” water does not generally pose a health risk.
In order to improve the quality of the water, attempts are already made at the hydrant to flush out a large part of the cloudy water from the drinking water network. If the water does become discolored, it is recommended that you take water from the nearest tap point after the water meter until the cloudiness disappears on its own.
The municipality of Deining asks all citizens for understanding and patience during this necessary maintenance work. The safety and reliability of the water supply is a top priority and these regular checks are a step in the right direction.
