Prince George, B.C. – Some residents of Prince George  may  find  some  sediment in their water today as  the City is  testing  some fire hydrants.

The test today  is taking place  near Freeman Street and 8th Avenue.  The test could mean  some  sediment in the water for homes in the area,   a reduction in water pressure.   Both  should be  back to normal this afternoon.

A second round of tests is set for this Thursday in  three areas:

• 13th and Carney
• 5^th Avenue and George Street, and
• Tamarack between 17^th and 20^th Avenues.

The surrounding areas will likely have sediment stirred up causing cloudy water following the test. The tests are expected to be 15 to 20 minutes each, during which residents in the area may also experience low water pressure. The cloudiness should subside by the end of that afternoon.
