Annual hydrant flushing starts Monday, March 24 at 7 a.m.
View the Chaska Hydrant Flushing Map to see when the Water Department will be in your neighborhood.
Here are a few things to keep in mind if you notice air bubbles or discoloration in your water:
- Open up a cold-water faucet closest to your water meter (typically in a mechanical room), and run water for 5-15 minutes.
- Discolored water is OK to drink.
- For laundry, we would recommend waiting until the water is flowing clear.
Flushing water mains helps maintain water quality and prevent sediment buildup in the pipes. Crews also use this as an opportunity to inspect the hydrants.
