Annual hydrant flushing has started.
View the Chaska Hydrant Flushing Map to see when the Water Department will be in your neighborhood. Shaded areas of the map show where flushing has been completed.
If you notice air in your water lines or discoloration in your water, open up a cold tap 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 fire hydrants.
