Spring Hydrant Flushing

The Water Department will be conducting routine hydrant flushing starting Wednesday, April 13th and ending on Tuesday, April 16th. Hydrant flushing is vital for the general maintenance of the Village’s water services and is performed twice a year – once in the spring and once in the fall. It ensures performance of fire hydrants for firefighting purposes, and quality water for residents and businesses.

While the flushing program is underway, customers may experience a slight drop in water pressure or temporary water discoloration. Although this water is perfectly safe to drink, it may stain laundry. Customers are advised not to schedule projects which require clear water before or after the date assigned to your area. The water will be both chemically and bacteriologically safe to drink..

The schedule will be as follows:

Wednesday, April 10th between 8 am and 4 pm
All of the area of the Village lying North of DeMott Avenue.

Thursday, April 11th between 8 am and 4 pm
in the area of the Village lying between Lakeview Avenue and DeMott Avenue, west of Long Beach Road.
