You may experience low water pressure at this time, which should resume shortly after the process is finished. You may also experience “spitting” when you turn your water on, which is caused from air getting into the system. Some residents may notice a slight temporary discoloration of the water as well. The colors could range from a reddish orange to black.  If colored water appears, we recommend NOT running HOT water until your COLD water starts to run clear, normally a few minutes is enough to clear the pipes within your home. Please check your water before cooking.

​

AVOID WASHING WHITE CLOTHES UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE A LOAD OF DARKS FIRST! If you happen to wash whites and they look yellow, you can get iron out from your local hardware stores.

​

City hydrants are flushed regularly to ensure they are in working order for fire protection and to remove mineral deposits that may accumulate in the water main.

​

Thank you for your patience, your cooperation and support.  We will make every effort to keep the discoloration to a minimum and apologize for any inconvenience in advance.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Sturgeon Lake City Hall at (218) 372-3391.
