2025 Annual Hydrant Flushing
The Public Works Department will conduct the annual flushing of fire hydrants throughout the Village starting next Monday, August 25th through Wednesday, September 10th between the hours of 6:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
Hydrant flushing is vital to the routine maintenance of the Village’s water system. It improves water quality and flow, lubricates the hydrant's internal mechanisms, and helps identify any deficiencies to ensure that the hydrant performs when needed for an emergency.
Please do not wash laundry during the flushing hours as rust staining of clothing may occur. Residents with water softeners are encouraged to check the cycle time of their softeners, so that the unit does not generate during this period.
The flushing schedule and map are below. The schedule is subject to change due to weather conditions or emergencies. If you have any questions, please contact the Public Works Department at (630) 823-5700.
