City of Eden Prairie issued the following announcement on April 7.
Throughout the month of April, the Eden Prairie Utilities Division will perform a flushing and maintenance check on all City fire hydrants.
This process involves opening and exercising each of the hydrants, which expels any sediment that may have accumulated in the pipes. The flushing process is conducted annually to maintain the water quality within the distribution system and ensure that each of the City's 4,000 fire hydrants is in proper working order.
Motorists are asked to use caution when driving in and around the sites being tested. Call the City’s Utility Division at 952-949-8530 with any questions or concerns.
