Teloga Fire Department to Conduct Fire Hydrant Testing This Evening

Residents in the Teloga area are being advised of possible temporary low water pressure this evening as the Teloga Volunteer Fire Department conducts scheduled fire hydrant testing.

Testing is planned for this evening (Monday, April 20, 2026) from 5:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Officials say water customers may notice a drop in pressure during that time, but normal service is expected to resume by 8:00 p.m.

The Free 6th Annual Chattooga County Plant Swap is set for Saturday, May 2nd, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Teloga Springs Farm, 9505 Hwy 337 in Summerville, bringing local gardeners together for an afternoon of swapping plants and supporting community causes.

Organizers are also seeking vendors and crafters to participate. Vendor setup is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and vendor spots are $30. Vendors should plan to bring their own pop-up tent and tables, as they will not be provided, and organizers say no power or Wi-Fi will be available.
