Annual Hydrant Flushing Update

The Sanitary District  is still working to complete their annual flushing and exercising. This began the week of May 11, 2020 and will continue throughout these 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!
