SYLVESTER,GA --
If you live in Sylvester and see water coming out of a fire hydrant, don't call the fire department--officials there are testing the hydrants all next week.

Starting Monday, they'll be testing all the hydrants in zone 1--that's everything west of Isabella Street and north of Franklin Street.

They do this to comply with the ISO rating standards which require them to be tested twice a year.

In total, they will be testing all 500 hydrants in Sylvester over the next three weeks.
