City of Graettinger Hydrant Flushing

5/20/2026

Hydrant Flushing today- May 20, 2026 

The City of Graettinger will be flushing fire hydrants throughout town today. This routine maintenance is an important part of keeping our water system healthy and ensuring our hydrants are ready to perform in an emergency. 

Why hydrant flushing matters: 

  • It helps clear out built up sediment from water lines
  • It improves overall water quality 
  • It ensures hydrants are working properly for fire protection 
  • It helps maintain consistent water pressure across the system 

What residents can expect: 

  • You may notice temporary drops in water pressure
  • Water may appear slightly discolored for a short time 
  • If discoloration occurs, simply run cold water from your tap until it clears 
  • All water remains safe to use 

We appriciate your patience as our crew completes this important work to keep Graettinger's water system running safely an efficiently.
