If you see water running down a thoroughfare in Crystal Lake, it is not a broken main. The Crystal Lake Water Division is flushing fire hydrants throughout the city. This is the third of a seven-week program to clean out the City's water distribution system and allow for inspection of hydrants.
This week the area south of Route 176 to Route 14 and East of Route 14 to Main Street is the selected area.
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.
Residents with questions are asked to contact the Water Division at (815) 356-3614
