Water Advisory Update Monday, Sept. 24, 2018
Water Tested, Awaiting Results
As of 8 p.m. Sunday night, City staff has completed the chlorination process and flushed all the lines so City water lines are free from chlorine. At 8 p.m., MN Dept of Health officials took new water samples in various locations in the affected area. The City is awaiting test results, which can take 18-24 hours. It is unknown if the boil water advisory will be lifted at that time. The City will notify the public as soon as possible, using the City Website, social media sites, KDWA Radio, the Hastings Star Gazette, Hastings Community TV, and the Dakota County Communications Emergency Notification System.
