Hydrant Flushing starts today and will continue through the daytime hours until Friday, April 12, 2024. Daytime hours are 7:00 am to 4:00 pm. As a precaution, we would ask that City water customers refrain from doing laundry during this time because of the possibility of discoloration in the water. The City regrets any temporary inconvenience this process causes and appreciates your cooperation during this time. What Is Hydrant Flushing? Hydrant flushing is the quick release of water from fire hydrants, used to maintain the quality of a city’s water distribution system. It serves several crucial purposes: Ensuring Proper Water Flow: Hydrant flushing ensures that water flows properly in hydrants, benefiting firefighters, residents, and businesses. Clearing Sediments and Minerals: Over time, sediments and minerals can accumulate in the water main. Flushing helps remove these deposits, maintaining high water quality. Regular Maintenance: It’s typically done twice a year—in spring and fall—to keep the system in optimal condition. Duration: The process takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Discoloration and Water Quality During hydrant flushing, water can become discolored. Some slight discoloration is natural and usually dissipates. However, if your water remains yellow or brown even after several hours, it’s essential to call a plumbing service. Persistent discoloration may indicate issues with the water main or pipes. Hydrant flushing plays a vital role in maintaining water quality, ensuring proper flow, and protecting our water distribution system. So next time you see a fire hydrant being flushed, remember that it’s not just water—it’s an essential part of our safety infrastructure.

There will be a 48 Hour BOIL ADVISORY on the north side of town, St John from Lindell to Sixth St

For the billing month of January, with the temperature being below freezing, the water readings were estimated. We did try to catch all HIGH readings, but I am sure some passed through. If your bill was much higher than normal, please contact city hall and we will try to correct the bill. Most bill should balance out in the next month's billing. If the estimate was high, next month's bill should be lower. If your estimate was low, your next bill will be higher. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

There is a 48 hour BOIL ADVISORY for Taylor St. from State to Washington and Monroe St to the Pentecostal Church on Washington. At this time there will be little to no water pressure.
