Drinking Water Report As required by the Minnesota Department of Health, the City must prepare an annual drinking water report for its customers. This report contains information about the City of Chanhassen’s drinking water. The annual report is available online at ChanhassenMN.gov/WaterReport
Road Weight Restrictions Each year during the spring thaw (typically early March to mid- May), state, county and local highway authorities impose axle weight restrictions to protect their roadways. The two primary causes for premature deterioration of asphalt streets are weather and traffic. As the frost leaves the ground during the spring thaw, the gravel under the road has a high moisture content, which affects the load-carrying capacity of the asphalt pavement. Therefore, in order to prolong the service life of the streets and highways, axle weight restrictions are imposed during the spring thaw when roads are most susceptible to damage due to heavy loads. The start and end dates for seasonal limits vary based on annual temperature changes. Seasonal load limits in Chanhassen go into effect on the date determined by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT).
Hydrant Flushing
To maintain a high level of water quality and appearance, Chanhassen utility crews flush water through our hydrants annually. This spring, crews will
open the hydrants and release the water to flow into the street or other open areas. This flushing clears out excess mineral sediment that may have accumulated in the water pipes. It also prevents stagnation in lesser-used parts of our water distribution system. Please contact Public Works at 952.227.1300 if you have questions about hydrant flushing.
