HYDRANTS TESTED

Testing of local fire hydrants is being carried out by Pawhuska Fire Department personnel.

City officials are reminding residents that the flushing procedures can sometimes cause discoloration of water in neighborhoods near the hydrants being tested. Until the testing can be completed, they ask that water users exhibit caution before doing laundry in these affected areas.

LOCAL AGENT CONFERS

Osage County 4-H Educator Jessica Jantzen recently attended a statewide conference of Oklahoma’s Association of Extension 4-H Agents.

The meeting, which took place in Lawton, promoted professional development aimed at strengthening, enhancing and advocating for the 4-H youth development profession.

“I truly gain so much from attending this meeting,” said Jantzen. “I enjoyed networking, sharing new ideas with my peers and being able to take ideas home which will strengthen my county program.”
