Red Wing Public Works Hydrant Flushing

The City of Red Wing Public Works Department will begin its annual process of flushing all hydrants and mains in the city of Red Wing on Monday, May 5, at 6 a.m.

The Water Treatment Facilities have improved the water quality in Red Wing, and as a result, crews have reduced the hydrant flushing to once a year.

The hydrant flushing are done to maintain water quality, remove accumulated rust from the water mains, and ensure that the fire hydrants work properly.

Some areas such as dead-end streets may be flushed multiple times during the year depending on the specific needs of the area.

The work is scheduled to be completed on Friday, May 16th.
