Town of Culver flushing hydrants, picking up leaves

The Culver Utilities Department will flush hydrants the week of October 21.

The Culver Utilities Department will flush hydrants the week of October 21 as part of their routine maintenance to remove sediment from the water lines and allow for better water flow.

While discolored during the process, the water is safe for consumption, but you probably don’t want to wash your whites. If your water is discolored, let the cold water faucet run for a few minutes until it clears.

Also, leaf piles started showing up in Culver neighborhoods. Starting at the end of October, the Culver Street and Utilities Department will pick up piles of leaves raked to the curb.

Residents should place leaf piles as close to the road as possible, but do not place them in the streets. The truck Culver uses to pick up the leaves has a vacuum hose, and it only extends so far, so if you notice a nice line of remaining leaves, they are outside of the arm’s reach.

The Town of Culver also asks you to please pull out branches and sticks from the leaf piles and set them in a separate pile so that they do not get sucked up with the leaves and clog the hose.
