Hydrant Flushing - Week of October 7
Fire hydrants will be flushed the week of October 7th. If water in your house has some discoloration, the Village recommends running cold water from your tap for 3-5 minutes, inspect for clarity afterwards. If the water remains discolored, wait 15-20 minutes and repeat the process. Discoloration from hydrant flushing does not mean the water is unsafe.
