You may see crews of La Vergne Fire and Rescue Department out around town working on fire hydrants . The department does this every spring to flush the water lines hooked up to the fire hydrants . This is a routine measure to make sure the system remains in proper working order .  
   Residents may notice some changes to their water as a result of the flushing process . There may be temporary discoloration of water in homes nears the hydrants being flushed . The discoloration comes from silt and doesn’t affect the safety of the water . If you see discoloration after crews have been working in your neighborhood , just run the cold water in all your faucets for just a few minutes to clear the pipes .
   LFRD started hydrant flushing on Monday , May 2 and will continue to flush hydrants through the end of June .
