FAQs

Moments ago, Governor Evers Issued an Executive Order declaring a public health emergency requiring face coverings statewide. The order is effective at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, August 1, 2020, and will expire on September 28, 2020.

Under this order, Wisconsin residents ages five and older are required to wear a face covering when they are indoors or in an enclosed space with anyone outside their household or living unit. Face coverings are strongly recommended if you are outdoors and maintaining physical distancing is not possible. The order also lists exceptions for activities such as eating, drinking, or swimming. Individuals with health conditions or disabilities that would prevent them from wearing of a face covering safely are exempt from this requirement.

The Governor’s Office has put together a list of FAQs here: https://content.govdelivery.com/…/1507334/Face%20Covering%2…

HYDRANT FLUSHING NOTICE

The Star Prairie Utilities will conduct its Fire Hydrant Flushing beginning on July 22nd and July 23rd, 2020.  This notice is to inform our customers that hydrant flushing may cause discolored or “rusty” looking water. The discolored water is caused by naturally occurring iron minerals that are disturbed during the flushing process. If mineral particles are detected (that may affect laundry operations) cold water should be run to clear out household water lines. If the problem persists, residents should contact Star Prairie Utilities at (715) 531-7033.
