Hydrant Testing - Cape Girardeau Fire Department
Channel: City of Cape Girardeau, Mo.
Date: 2023-09-29

Our Fire Department and water department (Alliance Water Resources) test hydrants every year. There are thousands of fire hydrants throughout the city of Cape Girardeau. 

During these times, residents near the tested hydrant might notice a slight discoloration of their water. Residents with any water service questions or concerns are welcome to call Alliance at 573-339-6357 

Testing consists of checking valve operation and flow rates, and maintenance and lubrication of the hydrant cap threads. Personnel will also note the overall condition of the hydrant itself. Alliance employees will repair or replace any hydrants as needed. Fire hydrant testing and maintenance is a key component of fire protection in the city.
