Why does the city water sometimes have a brown color and/or have sediment in it?
What can I do if my laundry becomes stained while the City is flushing the water lines?
1) Rewash clothes immediately in clear water with a heavy duty detergent.
2) Rewash clothes immediately in clear water with one cup of non-precipitating water softener (brand names may include Spring Rain or Calgon) without detergent.
3) For white clothing only, boil water adding cream of tarter and dip and boil article of clothing for a few minutes, rinse.
4) Launder with a commercial rust remover (such as RoVer, Rit Rust Remover, Iron-Out, Miracle-Rid-Iron, Whink, or Yellow Out). Follow the instructions on the product package. Commercial rust removers are intended for use only on white or colorfast fabrics. Test colored clothes for colorfastness before attempting to remove rust stains with commercial removers.
Note: Another iron stain situation unrelated to water quality occurs due to deterioration of the washer inner basket. Small areas near basket holes may show chipping of enamel, allowing the basket to rust. During the spin cycle, clothing comes in direct contact with this surface, and rust is deposited or transferred onto clothes. Stains may not be noticeable until dried, or may even "mysteriously" appear later in storage due to oxidation of the iron. Stains may appear as small pin-points scattered over a portion of the garment, or as larger, stained areas about the size of a dime. In this case, the source of the rust must be corrected through repair or replacement of the washer basket. Stain removal procedures for stained clothing are similar to those suggested for other iron stains.
What is the snowplow schedule for clearing the streets?
Snow plows are sent to clear the streets whenever the Public Works Director determines it necessary or declares a Snow Emergency. A Snow Emergency is snowfall of 2” or more. The City regulates parking of vehicles on city streets during the winter snow season (November 1st to April 30th). During a Snow Emergency, parking on City Streets is prohibited until the street is plowed the full width. To find out if a Snow Emergency has been declared, check the City of Perham website. Information will be displayed on the homepage. There may be information announced on Lakes Radio 99.5, when available, in addition to the website information. Parking is only prohibited during a Snow Emergency, although, we do recommend you move vehicles from the street if possible whenever the plows are out.
