City crews are en route to repair a water main break in the 1500 block of Kramme Dr. Residents in the area may experience water outages as the repairs are being made. Please use caution in and around the worksite.
Week 2 Water Main Flushing FAQ
How does the City flush water mains?
Water mains are flushed in a specific sequence - opening certain hydrants along a line in a systematic method. It can take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes to flush a main.
Water coming out of the hydrant is flowing at a very high rate of speed and pressure - remember safety first! Stay out of the way to prevent injury to yourself or damage to property.
