The Junction City Fire Department has finished with hydrant flushing for the year. Fire Chief Jason Lankas said that they will now focus on painting the hydrants. Some of the hydrants have obstructions from shrubs, bushes, hanging tree limbs and landscaping etc. They would like property owners to help with the obstructions around the hydrant. If this is not corrected the city will take action to correct it.
The fire department determines the color of the hydrant, and that the property owner may NOT paint the hydrant to a color of their choosing themselves.
