Hydrant Flushing Begins April 6

Don't be alarmed if your water is discolored: Hopkins Public Works utility crews will be flushing fire hydrants throughout the community April 6-24. Residents are cautioned against doing laundry - particularly lighter colored items - while crews are in the neighborhood.

Hydrant Flushing Schedule:

April 6-10: Hydrants north of Excelsior Boulevard and west of Highway 169
April 13-17: Hydrants south of Excelsior Boulevard and west of Highway 169
April 20-24: Hydrants east of Highway 169

If water is still discolored once crews leave, residents should run the cold water until it runs clear. More information is available here.
