Flushing & Inspecting Hydrants
Every spring, the City's utility crews begin flushing half of the fire hydrants in the city. This amounts to about 1500 hydrants every year! Hydrants north of highway 10 are flushed one year, then hydrants south of highway 10 are flushed the next year.
The process is part of a routine maintenance program necessary to maintain the water system and remove sediment from the lines.
