Eliot School Site Re-use Process
The St. Louis Park School District and the City are working together with the community to develop a plan and guidelines for redeveloping the Eliot School site.

The initial meeting to explain the process and gain input from neighbors was held on May 18, 2010.  Click Here

A Task Force made up of city, school district and neighborhood representatives will be formed to provide input on crafting the site reuse goals and design guidelines.  The group will meet over the summer months and make recommendations to the city and school board this fall.

For questions please contact Meg McMonigal at mmcmonigal@stlouispark.org or (952) 924-2573

Hydrant Maintenance begins Aug. 16th

updated: Tuesday, September 07, 2010

The City of St. Louis Park will begin testing the performance of its fire hydrant system in several neighborhoods beginning August 16th. The program is being conducted in accordance with the American Water Works Association’s recommended maintenance for fire hydrants, and will be conducted by the M.E. Simpson Company over the next six weeks.
 
The testing will occur in the Amhurst, Minnehaha, Cobblecrest, Texa Tonka, Bronx Park, Birchwood, Aquila, Oak Hill, Lenox, Sorensen, and South Oak Hill Neighborhoods. Click Here for area map
 
The hydrants will be opened for the testing, but unlike the flushing done in the spring time that cleans water mains, the hydrants will only be open for a short amount of time. While residents should not see any effects from the testing, like water main flushing, this housekeeping procedure can temporarily discolor water.
 
If you have any questions about the maintenance, call Public Works - Utilities at (952) 924-2558.
