Beginning Monday, Oct. 6, a contractor working with the City of Lake Charles will be conducting water pressure testing on fire hydrants in the City and in Ward 3, District 2.
Residents may experience water on roadways and temporary detours around testing teams. 
The flushing of water hydrants may stir up iron particles and other settled material and could result in a temporary rust-colored condition in the water lines of residences or businesses when the water is in use, but this is a temporary condition, and the water is safe for domestic use.
Residents experiencing continued tinted water can notify the City of Lake Charles Water Division’s Lab at 337-491-1599.
