Hydrant Flushing Begins April 3

Don't be alarmed if your water is discolored: Hopkins Public Works utility crews will be flushing fire hydrants throughout the community April 3-21. Residents are cautioned against doing laundry - particularly whites - while crews are in the neighborhood.

Hydrant Flushing Schedule:

• April 3-7: Hydrants north of Excelsior Boulevard and west of Highway 169
• April 10-14: Hydrants south of Excelsior Boulevard and west of Highway 169
• April 17-21: Hydrants east of Highway 169

If water is still discolored once crews leave, residents should run the cold water until it runs clear. Find more information about hydrant flushing.
