This outage is part of regular maintenance to ensure that fire hydrants are in good working condition. BGMU emphasizes that the replacement works will be conducted as quickly and safely as possible. While the utility’s crews are working on the project, they will strive to minimize the inconvenience to residents.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to prepare for the temporary water loss. Some ways to prepare include:
Once the hydrant replacement is completed, water service will be restored. After the work is done, it may take a little time for the water to clear, and residents might notice some discoloration or air in the lines. If this occurs, it is often harmless, but residents can run their faucets until the water runs clear.
This planned maintenance is crucial for ensuring public safety and maintaining the quality of infrastructure in Bowling Green. Fire hydrants play an important role in firefighting efforts, and their reliable function is vital for emergency response.
BGMU wants to assure residents that they are working diligently to complete the project on time and to keep any disruptions to a minimum. While any interruption in water service can be inconvenient, the utility appreciates the community’s understanding and cooperation during this necessary maintenance.
For residents in the Springhill subdivision of Bowling Green, the temporary water outage on Thursday evening is a small price for improved safety and infrastructure.
