Bath Township Fire Department personnel will be conducting spring fire hydrant maintenance and flushing on all township hydrants beginning Wednesday, April 12, 2023. Testing will last about three weeks. 

Residents may notice discoloration of water when the flushing takes place in their neighborhood. If you experience a discoloration of water, turn on your plumbing fixtures until the water runs clear. It is best to run an outdoor fixture, or a cold-water tap in a laundry tub or bathtub first until the water runs clear and then run water from other fixtures. 

This year’s firefighter of the year is Platoon Chief Jared Jenkins. Jared began his career with Bath Township in October of 2006. His fellow firefighters nominated him due to his commitment to training, education, and professional development. Additionally, they noted that he is very dedicated to the safety of his crew. Jared’s coworkers also noted the high standards he sets for himself and his dedication to our department. The keynote speaker will be Beth Seibert, Allen County Commissioner.
