NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH – North Topsail Beach residents may notice discoloration or sediments in their water this April as the fire department tests hydrants through the month.
The annual tests will commence on Thursday. The process includes opening the hydrants and allowing them to flow freely.
According to the town, this is necessary to clear sediment from the water mains for the routine maintenance and testing.
If residents notice discoloration or the presence of sediment in the water, they should not be alarmed. It is normal, safe and temporary, according to a town update.
“If you experience this, please flush all water fixtures within your residence,” the town stated.
