The City of Carver Public Services Department will begin its annual hydrant flushing in April and is expected to be completed by mid-May.  Hydrant flushing serves two purposes:

(1) To ensure proper operation and to purge stagnant water and natural minerals that may be deposited in the distribution system; and
(2) Hydrants identified as needing maintenance are repaired following the completion of flushing.

Residents are advised that the change in water flow patterns resulting from hydrant flushing may stir up mineral deposits in city water mains.   During hydrant flushing, it is not unusual for residents to periodically experience discolored water, pressure changes, and/or an increased chlorine odor.  Although safe for human consumption, if you experience discolored water you may correct the problem by opening all cold water faucets and allow them to run at the same time until the water clears.  For more information, please call the City Offices at 952-448-5353.
