<br /> Seconds Matter -- Don't Forget Your Neighboring Hydrants
<br /> Each year,the Harley Owners Group helps Elk River citizens by shoveling out hydrants from the snow. 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 /> Lead in Home Plumbing
<br /> If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young
<br /> children. 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.
