City to flush fire hydrants

LANCASTER - The city water department will flush fire hydrants and conduct flow tests from 11 p.m. Monday through 7 a.m. Friday. The procedure will help clear material from the water mains which has collected sine the last flushing.

The area to be flushed will be north of West Wheeling Street and Cedar Hill Road to North Memorial Drive and from the Hocking River west to the corporation limits at Mill Park Drive, including Ety Road.

Customers in those areas should check their cold water taps in the morning before washing or cooking to make sure there is no residual water dis colorization.

Sheriff's office investigates gun discharge complaint

LANCASTER - Fairfield County Sheriff's Office deputies investigated a complaint of gun being discharged Tuesday around 7:30 p.m. in the 200 block of Tillamook Lane in Rushcreek Township.

There were no injuries and no one was shot.

A police report said a woman said she was trying to keep the neighbors from shooting off fireworks. She said she didn't know the gun was loaded and that it discharged when she pointed it in the air.

The sheriff's office is sending the report to the county prosecutor's office for review of possible charges.
