Public Works utility crews will be flushing fire hydrants throughout the community in April.
If you own or manage a business or townhome/apartment complex, please arrange for your private hydrants to be flushed by a contractor during the same time frame that the City is flushing in your area.
- April 8–12: Hydrants north of Excelsior Boulevard and west of Highway 169
- April 15–19: Hydrants south of Excelsior Boulevard and west of Highway 169
- April 22–26: Hydrants east of Highway 169
During hydrant flushing it is normal to experience some discolored water. Residents are cautioned against doing laundry—particularly whites—while crews are in the neighborhood. This water is safe to drink and can be cleared up by running the cold water in your laundry tub.
Public Works will also be doing routine sewer cleaning starting April 1, weather permitting.
The cleaning area will be in the Bellgrove, Drillane, Knollwood, Hobby Acres, Park Ridge, North Presidents and Cottageville neighborhoods.
If you experience problems, contact Public Works at 952-548-6353.
