The Cape Girardeau Fire Department will test fire hydrants in the city in the coming days. Customers may notice discolored water and a drop in water pressure while the tests run. Pressure should quickly return to normal. Let water flow for a minute and it should run clear. These tests -- which start today and last through May 21 -- are regular maintenance for the city's hydrants.
