Final Week Of Crystal Lake Hydrant Flushing

The final week of water running down Crystal Lake Streets is almost here.

Monday will begin the seventh and last week of this year's hydrant flushing program. The area involved includes south of Alexandra to Miller Road and west of Randall Road.

Residents are reminded that 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
