POUGHKEEPSIE – The City of Poughkeepsie Fire Department will be servicing and testing the city fire hydrant system (weather permitting). This system is directly linked to the drinking water supply.
During the testing period, the water is safe but should be run until it is clear. City officials are advising residents use caution when doing white laundry. It is recommended that water customers wait twenty-four to forty-eight hours after the testing has been completed in the vicinity of your neighborhood before washing light-color laundry.
