Annual Hydrant Flushing

The Sanitary District will begin their annual flushing and exercising of fire hydrants during the week of May 11, 2020. They will continue to flush hydrants throughout the summer months.

How does this effect me?
While staff is working on the hydrants in your area, you may notice that your water appears cloudy. This is normal and your water is sill safe to use and drink. To help clear up the color, you can run the cold water tap located closest to your water meter until the water runs clear. 

Why is this necessary? 
The Public Service Commission and Wisconsin DNR requires the Town to flush the water distribution system, including the fire hydrants, on a regular basis. Flushing hydrants is essential to keeping your water safe and maintaining our distribution system. It also helps to ensure that the hydrant is in good working order for the Fire Department's use!
