- When can I expect my street to be swept?
-
Residential street sweeping takes place twice a year, once in the summer and in the fall. It takes four to five weeks to get the entire City swept. Weather predicts when the operation is in full swing.
- I've noticed colored flags in my yard. What do they mean?
-
Gopher State One Call takes requests from callers who plan to do excavation work. The utility companies or a utility locating services company mark the locations of the underground utilities with corresponding paint and flags.
- White = Proposed excavation
- Pink = Temporary survey markings
- Red = Electric power lines, cables, conduit and lighting cables
- Yellow = Gas, oil, steam, petroleum or gaseous materials
- Blue = Potable water
- Purple = Reclaimed water, irrigation and slurry lines
- Green = Sewer and Drain Lines.
- When will my fire hydrant be flushed?
-
The Utilities Division will flush hydrants for four weeks in May from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Other hydrants will also be flushed throughout the year as weather and water demand allows.
