Don't be alarmed if your water is discolored: Hopkins Public Works utility crews will be flushing fire hydrants throughout the community April 8-26. Residents are cautioned against doing laundry - particularly whites - while crews are in the neighborhood.
Hydrant Flushing Schedule:
- 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
If water is still discolored once crews leave, residents should run the cold water until it runs clear.
