Fire Hydrant Testing Notice

The Whiting Fire Department will begin testing fire hydrants on Sunday Evening, October 17, 2010.  Testing will continue Monday, October 18, 2010 through Saturday, October 23, 2010, between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM.

The testing process may cause your tap water to become discolored.  This discoloration is due to sediment in the water lines becoming stirred up through the testing process.  If this condition occurs in your home or business, run your water until the discoloration disappears.

Should you have any further questions regarding testing you can call the Whiting Water Department at (219) 659-6200, or the Whiting Fire Department at (219) 659-1069.

Reminder - Daylight Savings time ends Sunday, November 7, 2010.  Time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors!

Whiting's participation in the IACT Green Communities Initiative Program has won another distinction as an "IACT Green Community of the Year" award winner!  Our city has proven once again to be instrumental in implementing green programs in our community and will serve as a great example of green efforts that can be undertaken by cities and towns across the state.

Whiting along with cities of Indianapolis, Greencastle and Goshen will be honored with a plaque and a road sign that marks our community as a "2010 IACT Green Community of the Year".
