News and Announcements

The City of Brandon will be flushing water mains from Monday, May 19th through mid-June 2025 or until flushing is complete.  Flushing hydrants is needed to ensure they are in proper working condition for fire protection and to remove any mineral deposits that may have accumulated in the water mains.  Residents should be advised that the change in water flow patterns resulting from hydrant flushing may stir up mineral deposits in home services.  During hydrant flushing, it is not uncommon for residents to periodically experience discolored water, pressure change, and/or an increased chlorine odor.  Homeowners are advised to exercise care in their laundry operations and to check the water for clarity before use.  Motorists also are advised to stay clear of the streams of water coming from the hydrants.

Press Release

Date and time change to the Outdoor Warning Siren Testing in rural Minnehaha County

Starting Monday April 7th at 7:00 PM the Outdoor Warning Sirens located outside of Sioux Falls city limits within Minnehaha County will be tested.  These tests will continue on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 PM  

The previous tests were scheduled on the first Saturday of each month at 11:00 AM. Throughout the years the Minnehaha County Rural Fire Departments have graciously taken on the responsibility of ensuring the sirens are working and reporting to Metro Communications. During the summer months on Saturdays there are fewer volunteer fire personnel available to ensure the sirens activated accordingly. The Minnehaha County Fire Chiefs Association has recommended changing the date and time to the first Monday of each month at 7:00 PM.  This decision was made in coordination with the Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Management Division.

The City of Sioux Falls will continue their outdoor warning siren tests on the first Friday of each month at 11:00 AM.
