City of Lake Elmo, MN

Lake Elmo Public Works Staff will be flushing dead end hydrants beginning Tuesday, October 3, 2022 and lasting the remainder of the week.

Unlike our spring flushing, not all hydrants will be flushed during this time.  The flushing of hydrants may cause some fluctuation of water pressure and/or discolored water and particles to flow in into homes. If this does occur, cold water should be ran to clear household water lines.

If you have any questions, please contact the Lake Elmo Public Works at 651-747-3940.

The County Highway 13 (Ideal Ave) reconstruction project between County Hwy 14 (34^th St) and 44^th St is well underway.  The project will enter the final construction stage on Sept 16.  At this time, Ideal Ave will reopen between 39^th St and Hidden Bay Trail while closing between Hidden Bay Trail and 44^th St.  The final (stage) closure is expected to run to mid-October.

During the (Hidden Bay to 44^th St) closure, access to Hidden Bay will be maintained, but will be available from the south.  Likewise, access will be maintained to 44^th St from the north.

Resident access between Hidden Bay and 44^th St will be from the north, but may be from the south at times depending on work in the area.

A detour is currently in place and is attached along with a staging map. Periodic updates are available on the project page à https://www.co.washington.mn.us/County13Phase2
