The Gulfport Fire Department will be conducting routine fire hydrant testing and maintenance throughout the city over the next two months.

During this time, residents may notice temporary drops in water pressure or slight discoloration of water. This is normal and should clear quickly by running your faucets for a short period.

We ask motorists to please use caution and be mindful of crews working along roadways. Please slow down and give them space to operate safely.

We appreciate your patience as we work to ensure our hydrants are fully operational and ready to protect our community.
