Fire Hydrant Flushing

Hydrant Flushing Times

The hydrant-flushing program lasts about 4 weeks each year. The Village alternates between the north and south  sides of the BNSF tracks every other year.

What To Expect During Flushing
During hydrant flushing, residents may notice a slight discoloration in their water. Run the cold water tap for a few moments to remove any discoloration.

Purpose of Flushing
Flushing verifies the hydrants are operational and eliminates any rust in the system.
