City Officials Release Water Flushing Plan
Officials with the City of Milbank have released their tentative plan for flushing the community water supply. Residents are reminded that the flushing will be done at hydrants in various zones that were outlined on a map published in the Grant County Review on March 19. Flushing is slated to occur between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m.

The week of March 31 will include the area north of Hwy 12, east to Seventh Street, north to include Lakeview Addition, west to city limits around Farley Park.
The week of April 8 workers are scheduled to flush an area in the south central part of city. It is east of Hwy. 15 to Seventh Street, south of Tenth Avenue to southern city limit.
The week of April 15, the flushing will be in the area east of Seventh Street and south of Tenth Avenue to include Valley View Addition, to south city limit.
In the week of April 22, workers will concentrate on the area east of Hwy. 15, between Seventh and Ninth Streets, from Tenth Avenue to the northern city limits, including Middlebrook Circle.
