Hydrant Flushing Begins Next Week The City of Bellefontaine Water Department and Bellefontaine Fire Department will begin routine fire hydrant flushing and testing starting next week. This important maintenance helps improve water quality and ensures our hydrants are operating properly. Residents may notice temporary discoloration in their water or slight drops in pressure during flushing. If this occurs, simply run your water until it clears. Our crews will be working throughout the city over the coming months. If you see us out, feel free to ask questions as long as it can be done safely! We appreciate your patience as we work to maintain a safe and reliable water system for our community.
