We appreciate all <br /> of their amazing work!They were gracious enough to help the community a couple of days this winter. However, it is <br /> recommended to tend to your own neighboring hydrant(s),if able.Please be careful if you choose to clear them out. There <br /> are over 1,200 hydrants and volunteers are never a guarantee to assist residents with the task,especially with the number of <br /> potential snowfalls each winter. This past winter was a prime example of just how much snow Minnesota can encounter. <br /> Please keep an eye on hydrants with snow accumulation to ensure firemen have quick access to protect your home. <br /> / <br /> SMART Irrigation Best Practices <br /> and Irrigation m u;ei^�reme^ts' Pave sdormantt^ <br /> 5 to rePea ti^eeded`. need a1,:pse,t th t g:\,rough PWon t <br /> Tune-Up Rebate <br /> 1t like\V <br /> between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. (coolest part Reduce runoff onto driveways,sidewalks spite d fy,TFP'Nater <br /> &roads.Check irrigation heads regularly. �nle <br /> Waterof the day and not in the sun) in short e io NM Dr need E�RremaNariq Mlnne <br /> increments, and repeat if needed once other areas have ..ordinance.spit"ala b{ootreye^addresses, awutancerourg azs�o nttthepedkor�l m ner t <br /> been watered.

Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home <br /> plumbing.We are responsible for providing high-quality drinking water, but we cannot control the variety of materials <br /> used in plumbing components.When your water has been sitting for several hours,you can minimize the potential for <br /> lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are <br /> concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, <br /> testing methods,and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at(800) <br /> 426-4791 or at www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. <br /> • � ,!-, 1 €„r 3e ,, ...., . <br />
