| Beginning the first week in April, Public Works performs annual fire hydrant flushing. Flushing rids the water of mineral sediment, facilitates regular maintenance and ensures the hydrants are in a high state of serviceability in the event of an emergency. |
| |
| During April and early May, flushing is on-going. Residents are encouraged to check for possible water discoloration prior to use. If the water is discolored, it can usually be remedied by running a cold water tap for 5-10 minutes or until the water clears. Postponing laundry until water is clear (usually no more than one day) is recommended. |
| |
| Street signs are posted in the affected area when hydrants are flushed. Call Public Works with any questions at (847) 734-8800. |
