( KLZA) -- The Falls City Volunteer Fire Department will begin phase II of sandblasting and painting the fire hydrants in town.
Last year the company they hired by them started on the South end of town sandblasting and repainted over 90 hydrants including all on 16th street. The company now plans to start on March 13th and subject to weather, complete the rest of them by April 1st.
They will start on East 17th street and work North to 35th street. The City of Falls City is working in collaboration with the volunteers on this project. With around 211 fire hydrants, this has been a large project for the Fire Department. We ask that you don’t park vehicles near the hydrants if you see them working in your area, this will allow access of the sandblasting equipment to get close to the fire hydrants.
If possible please remove any tall grasses, flowers, weeds to aid in this process as they will be painted Red when done sandblasting.
The Volunteer Fire Department will later color code the tops indicating the water flow for that hydrant.
