Reminder: City of Neillsville Flushing Hydrants Through Friday

Monday, May 13th, 2024 -- 11:00 AM

The City of Neillsville is conducting the annual flushing program to clear out minerals that have accumulated in the city’s water mains.

The flushing is accomplished by opening fire hydrants.  This flushing is necessary to improve water quality and maintain the integrity of the distribution system, which is mandated by the Wisconsin DNR. Flushing will be conducted: 7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. and will continue today through Friday, May 17th.

If the water appears discolored, do not be alarmed.  After waiting, run your cold water for about 5 minutes to verify the water has cleared.  If water does not clear, or if you have any questions, please call the Water Department at 743-3991.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
