FLUSHING MAINS/HYDRANTS
The City of Madelia Water Department will be flushing water mains/hydrants starting the week of April 21st. The city flushes the mains to keep the mains open and flowing with the least amount of matter in the lines.
What does hydrant flushing do?
Hydrant flushing is the quick release of water from fire hydrants. It ensures adequate water flow is available to fire fighters, residents and businesses. It also improves water quality by clearing iron and other mineral deposits from the water mains.
If you have discolored water, after the flushing has been completed in your area, run your tap water until the water is clear.
