The Dadeville Fire Department will begin its annual fire hydrant maintenance and testing starting the week of Oct. 15. The department will be testing everything south of Highway 280 from West LaFayette Street to the city limits on 280 east of Dadeville.

Citizens residing in the test area may experience a discoloration of their water due to minerals inside underground water lines being disturbed. If water discoloration is experienced, allowing water to run from any faucet for several minutes should eliminate any discoloring of the water.
