The fourth section of Crystal Lake is scheduled for hydrant flushing beginning Monday. This area includes the area south of Route 14; east of McHenry Avenue to Route 31. The area involved may be observed by going to the 2010 Hydrant Flushing Map. This week's area is the tan colored area.
The city explains that this process cleans out the City’s water distribution system and allows for inspection of hydrants. During flushing, water may become temporarily discolored due to material being removed from water mains.
The water is safe to drink, but may stain clothes washed during hydrant flushing. Residents should try to limit water usage during this time, but if this is not possible, the City offers Rover, a chemical that can be used as a cleanser in laundry to remove iron stains, free of charge, should problems occur.
Questions? -- contact the Water Division at (815) 356-3614.
