Beginning Monday, April 8, the City of Eden Prairie will conduct flushing and maintenance checks on its nearly 4,500 fire hydrants.
It will take about three weeks to complete.
According to the city, this annual procedure involves opening the hydrants to remove any sediment accumulation in the pipes, ensuring the water quality within the distribution system and the proper function of each fire hydrant.
Motorists are urged to exercise caution around the testing sites.
For questions or concerns, contact the city’s utility division at 952-949-8530.
