🌊🚨 Spring Hydrant Flushing Begins April 20 🚨🌊

• Consider waiting until crews have moved out of your area before using water.
• Flushing may extend into the following week if system repairs are needed.

🌪️ Wisconsin Tornado Drill — CANCELLED! 🚨
Due to the active week of severe weather and that we're still going through and NWS staff doing storm damage surveys, Wisconsin Emergency Management and the NWS have made the decision to cancel the statewide tornado drill, which was set to occur today, April 16th.
If you have plans to go through your severe weather plans, please still go through with them, but know that there will not be official messaging or a Routine Weekly Test that is sent from the NWS. With the recent stretch of severe weather, you all have hopefully had more than enough opportunity to dust those plans off. Sorry for any inconveniences.
🔗Press Release from Wisconsin Emergency Management can be found online or on our Facebook post about the cancelation.
🔗Discover more about Severe Weather Awareness at www.weather.gov and find the "severe weather awareness" tab.
