Hydrant Flushing

May 12, 2023

Hydrant Flushing will be conducted throughout the Village  May 15th-26th.

What is the purpose of fire hydrant flushing?

The periodic “flushing” of fire hydrants is an important preventative maintenance activity that helps to insure the integrity of the water system and to provide the highest quality water to our customers.

Hydrant Flushing provides the following services:

•Flushes sediments from water main pipes, thus enhancing water quality;

•Verifies that fire hydrants and valves are working properly and that ample water flow is available for firefighting needs;

•Aids in determining weaknesses in water pipes and related fittings and valves.
