The City of Red Wing’s Public Works Department will begin its annual process of flushing all hydrants and mains in the city of Red Wing on Monday, April 29, 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.
