City fire hydrants are checked annually to ensure that each hydrant is verified for use in the event of a fire. The flushing also helps maintain our water quality, but may cause temporary water discoloration.
To be notified when hydrants are to be checked, signup for a CodeRED alert through Catawba County’s Community Alert Program. To sign up or to update your information on CodeRED, go to www.HickoryNC.gov or for more information, call:
Hickory Public Utilities, 828-323-7427 or Deputy Fire Chief Chad Fisher, 828-323-7420
