Hydrant Flushing Begins April 8

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. More information is available here.

Brush will be picked up for free for Hopkins residential garbage customers on your regular garbage day from April 8-18. You do not need to call to schedule this pickup. After April 18, brush will be collected on Tuesdays, weather permitting. Learn how to prepare your brush for pickup here.
