City of Ramsey issued the following announcement on March 29.
The City of Ramsey's Utilities Department will be flushing water mains beginning Monday, April 4 through Friday, April 29. This necessary, semi-annual process helps to eliminate naturally occurring iron deposits that have settled to the bottom of the water main pipes. Flushing the pipes creates a disturbance in the system and may cause your water to be discolored. While it may be unsightly, the water is fit for human consumption. Use caution when washing clothes as iron can cause them to be discolored. If you are able, you may want to fill your washer before adding clothes. We appreciate your patience and regret any inconvenience that this may cause. If you have any questions regarding water main flushing please call Utilities Supervisor John Nelson at 763-433-9861.
