Fire hydrant flushing is ongoing in Crystal Lake and is expected to continue through May 13.
The section being flushed next week -– April 18 through April 22 — is south of Route 14, east of McHenry Avenue to Route 31.
The process is necessary to clean the City's water distribution system and to allow the Water Division to perform an inspection of City hydrants. During this flushing, water may become temporarily discolored due to material being removed from water mains.
It is safe to drink, but it may stain clothes that are washed during the flushing in the area. Residents are advised to 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 may be directed to the Water Division at (815) 356-3614
