Next up in our Local Highlight Series, the beautiful city of Elk River.
Here’s some news and updates from one of our favorite areas to work in.
Spring Flooding
The Great Minnesota Thaw is just around the corner, and you know what that means. Leaky windows, leaky roofs, and leaky checkbooks too if you’re not careful. Spring can be a tough time for plumbing, but luckily for residents across the metro area Nowthen has got you covered. For Elk River residents specifically, be sure to check out the City of Elk River’s website for all the up to date information you’ll need on spring flooding and emergency management. The Press Release section and Twitter Feed are especially handy.
