Second Section of Crystal Lake Hydrant Flushing Begins Monday

The second section of Hydrant Flushing in Crystal Lake will begin Monday. This section includes areas south of Route 176 to Route 14; east of Main Street to Route 31 (south of Crystal Lake Avenue); east of Route 31 and south of Route 14 to Walmart.

Residents are reminded that the flushing does cause the water to become temporarily discolored due to material being removed from the water mains. The water is safe to drink, but may stain clothes washed during hydrant flushing. Water usage should be limited 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 the problem arise.

Question from residents can be answered by calling the Water Division, at 815-356-3614.

Flushing in this second section of flushing will continue through April 9.
