Spring Hydrant Flushing

5/5/2008

Watermains in Faribault will be flushed the week of May 6 - May 9, 2008 on four separate nights, weather permitting. Watermains are routinely flushed to clean the distribution system. Residents are advised to avoid or limit water usage during the flushing period and check for discoloration prior to using water for laundry purposes. If discoloration exists, residents should run the cold water tap until it becomes clear. All flushing will be done between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
