The Tryon Fire Department will be performing hydrant testing today in the Eastside Community area. Regular fire hydrant testing ensures the ability to provide water at an acceptable pressure and flow rate for firefighting operations. 

Sometimes hydrant testing can make the water temporarily appear rust-colored because the iron and other mineral deposits in the water mains get stirred up.  There is no health hazard associated with discolored water.  Water is safe to use and consume during hydrant testing, however it may stain laundry.
