Flushing Hydrants w David Visser

With Tulip Time less than two weeks away, the City of Pella is preparing the town for spring, and an influx of visitors. David Visser with Public Works says they will take the majority of the week, flushing out each and every fire hydrant. He says besides clearing out the system, it helps that determine if there are any issues, and allows them to make any needed repairs before there is a problem. The Parks department spent Monday scrubbing out the Molengracht Canal, which takes a five person crew approximately three hours to clean. The Parks Department will also paint the bridge over the canal, which is expected to be complete by mid week, weather permitting.
