St. Cloud area flushing activities

Toho Water Authority (Toho) will be conducting closed-circuit flushing activities starting on Monday, November 17, in the St. Cloud area north of 17th Street between Florida Avenue and Brown Chapel Road (please see map below). This is to enhance water appearance, odor, taste and quality.

The flushing activities will move from east to west and will take place Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. They are expected to be completed by mid-February 2026. Schedules could vary due to weather and unforeseen circumstances. The flushing schedule is as follows:

11/17/2025 - 11/21/2025
12/1/2025 - 12/19/2025
1/5/2026 - 2/13/2026

Closed-circuit flushing involves pumping water though a mobile filter system between fire hydrants. This type of flushing eliminates the need to discharge water from the hydrants maintaining water pressures in the area. Please see more details below.
