🚨 Attention, Graettinger Residents! 🚨 The City of Graettinger will be flushing hydrants during the week of May 12th. This routine maintenance is important for maintaining the quality and reliability of our water system. Why do we flush hydrants? • 🌊 Improves Water Quality: It removes any sediment or mineral deposits from water lines, ensuring clean, fresh water for your home. • 🚒 Ensures Fire Readiness: Testing hydrants helps confirm they are in good working order for emergency use. • 🔧 Enhances Water Flow: By clearing buildup, it helps maintain optimal water pressure and flow. • 💧 System Maintenance: It's a preventative step that extends the life of our water infrastructure. What should you know? During this time, you may notice temporary changes in water pressure or slight discoloration. If discoloration occurs, run your cold water until it clears. We appreciate your patience as we work to keep Graettinger’s water system running smoothly! 💧 Thank you for your cooperation! Feel free to share this post to spread the word. 🌟

Earlier today, the City of Graettinger experienced a water main break that may have caused some temporary disruptions in water pressure for our residents. You might have noticed lower water pressure or even slight discoloration in the water. These issues were caused by the break and the repair process. We’re happy to report that the water main has been fixed, and water pressure is expected to return to normal very soon. We appreciate your understanding and patience as our team worked quickly to resolve the issue. If you continue to experience any unusual changes in water pressure or quality, please don’t hesitate to reach out to City Hall for further assistance.
