FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fall maintenance in Woodbury neighborhoods starts Sept. 13
Fall maintenance projects, including street sweeping and hydrant flushing, are scheduled to begin throughout Woodbury neighborhoods in mid-September.
Street sweeping is expected to start Monday, Sept. 13, weather permitting. When sweepers are in the neighborhood, all vehicles and items such as portable basketball hoops should be moved from the streets so the entire street can be cleaned.
Street sweeping will take place over approximately five working days, between the hours of 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.
Hydrant flushing
Provided the street sweeping proceeds as scheduled, hydrant flushing will begin the week of Sept. 20. Dead-end water lines, such as those in cul-de-sacs, will be flushed to ensure the hydrants are operating properly. The project is expected to take about four weeks to complete, weather permitting.
Though flushing may occasionally discolor the water for a few minutes, it is safe to drink. Residents may want to check for signs of discoloration before using the water to wash clothes, particularly white clothes.
Questions about street sweeping or hydrant flushing can be directed to the Public Works Department, (651) 714-3720.
