Maple Plain Public Works will be starting fall hydrant flushing on Monday, October 14th. Work will continue through the City by section as shown on the map. Each section may take a day or two. Hydrant flushing is a controlled procedure that is vital to the general maintenance of the City’s water distribution system. It ensures adequate water flow is available to fire fighters, residents, and businesses. This process may cause discolored water, pressure changes, and/or an increased chlorine odor. Sediment present in the water is not a health issue, but it may impact your water as described above.
More information on hydrant flushing, including when to run your water and what to do in the event that your water is discolored during the hydrant flushing, may be found on our website at the following address: www.mapleplain.com/departments/PublicWorks/hydrant flushing
