Mankato water mains will be flushed from Sunday, September 27, through Friday, October 2. Flushing is scheduled to occur nightly from 8:30 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.

This maintenance in the spring and fall is necessary to help the water distribution system remain in good working order.

  • Flushing occurs overnight in efforts to reduce inconveniences.
  • Plan to avoid or limit water usage during water main flushing.
  • Allow at least 1-hour after flushing operations for the water to clear.
  • Although the water is safe to drink, there may be some discoloration until it clears.
