It is expected to take about two weeks to complete all hydrants. Flushing purges rust and stagnant water from the distribution system and identifies hydrants in need of maintenance. Some residents may receive rust colored water that could stain laundry. During this time, please check that water coming into the house is clear and let the tap water run, if necessary. Watering Restrictions - What are they? Property owners within the City using water from the City of Hugo's municipal water system, may only water lawns, trees or other vegetation on an odd -even basis. Specifically, property ad- dresses which end in an odd number may only water on odd calendar days. Properties having addresses which end in an even number may only water on even calendar days. An exemp- tion from the odd -even restriction of up to 30 days is available for new sod, seed, or plantings. You may call Hugo City Hall at (651) 762- 6300 to be added to a 30-day exemption list. New Public Works Building Disposable Wipes We need your help! Although many brands of disposable wipes are labeled " flushable," please do not flush them! Disposable wipes cause major problems when flushed down toilets. Because they don't break down the way toilet paper does, these wipes clog homeowner and municipal sewer pipes, put stress on community wastewater collec- tion equipment, and cause cities to spend thousands of dollars on premature equipment repair and replacement. Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated by your Public Works Department! CodeRED Reminder CodeRED is an emergency notification service by which public safety can notify residents and businesses by landline or cellu- lar phone about emergency situations. The system is capable of sending messages only to specific neighborhoods or the entire community. CodeRED can be used for any emergency alert, including severe weather situations, substantial utility outage, evacu- ation notices, missing or lost persons, fires or floods, major roadway issues, significant criminal situations, chemical spills or gas leaks. Residents can sign up for this service at www.ci.hugo.mn.us/codered The Hugo Public Works department has outgrown our current facility on 137th Street N and there are plans to construct a new facility located on the south side of Irish Avenue Park. Irish Avenue Park is 125 acres and located off of 140th Street N. The new Public Works Facility will take up approximately 10 acres of the site with building and site improvements. Site grading and storm and sewer work began in fall 2020 and construction of the 60,600 square foot building is anticipated to be complete in late fall 2021.
