Please check the City of Hugo’s <br />website for future updates on the project. <br />STREET SWEEPING <br />Starting March 21 (weather dependent) <br />The Public Works Department will be <br />sweeping all public paved streets. <br />Sweeping takes place Monday through <br />Friday between 7:00 am and 4:30 pm. <br />It will take approximately two weeks to <br />complete. Private roads are swept by <br />homeowners associations. <br />HYDRANT FLUSHING <br />Starting April 11 (weather dependent) <br />As part of many other spring projects, the <br />Public Works Department will be flushing <br />hydrants. It is expected to take about two <br />weeks to complete all hydrants. Flushing <br />purges rust and stagnant water from the <br />distribution system and identifies hydrants <br />in need of maintenance. Some residents <br />may receive rust colored water that could <br />stain laundry. During this time, please check <br />that water coming into the house is clear <br />and let the tap water run, if necessary. <br /> <br />PREVENT STORMWATER POLLUTION <br />Report Illicit Discharges <br />An illicit discharge is an unlawful act of <br />disposing, dumping, spilling, emitting or <br />other discharge of any substance other than <br />stormwater into the streets, gutters, ditches, <br />and ponds that make up our stormwater <br />drainage system, or directly into streams or <br />lakes themselves. As a community mem- <br />ber, you play a large part in identifying and <br />reducing illicit discharges in our community. <br />What can you do about illicit discharges? <br />If you see anyone discharging any material <br />other than rainwater in roadside ditches <br />or storm drains, please report it to Public <br />Works at 651-762-6301. For potentially <br />hazardous materials and petroleum spills, <br />call 9-1-1 FIRST when there is an immediate <br />threat to life or property. <br /> <br />STORMWATER / ADOPT A STORM DRAIN <br />Adopt a storm drain <br />on your street to <br />help protect local <br />lakes and streams. <br />You can make a difference <br />by volunteering just <br />15 minutes, twice a <br />month, to keep your <br />nearest storm drain <br />clear of litter, leaves, <br />grass clippings and dirt. <br />Go to www.Adopt-a-Drain.org and use the map to find your neighbor- <br />hood storm drains – then click and sign-up to adopt. <br />4
