Even the City of Morrison started spring cleaning.  The Public Works Department–specifically employee Kendra Kophamer–opened hydrants along High Street on Friday morning, March 27, 2015.

During the City Council Meeting on Monday, March 23, Director of Public Works Gary Tresenriter stated, “We have been experiencing iron on Well #5…and took it offline awhile ago.”  He has been pumping the well to waste to clean it and took samples last week and this for testing.  He is uncertain why we are encountering iron now.

Kophamer was “flushing hydrants closest to the tower” to clear iron deposits.
