City Of Big Lake issued the following announcement on Mar. 31.
Spring Hydrant Flushing will begin next week (April 4-15).
The City flushes out its water mains through the fire hydrants in order to clear the water mains of small amounts of sediment that settles in water mains over time. We also verify that the hydrants are in good working order.
Flushing will occur between the hours of 7 a.m. – 3 p.m. During this process you may experience a drop in water pressure and deposits from water lines may create a yellowish to brownish discoloration of water in homes near flushing areas. While this water is safe for drinking, it may discolor laundry. To avoid this, turn on an outside faucet to clear the water line prior to doing laundry or cleaning. Please contact Water Superintendent Dan Childs at 763-251-8010 with any questions or concerns you may have. Thank you for your patience during this process!
