The water softening process for the City of Crystal Lake is being improved. The process is expected to take approximately two to three months to complete. When completed the softening system at Water Treatment Plant No. 4, located at 400 Knaack Blvd. is being upgraded to make the softening process more efficient and reliable.
The process is expected to take approximately two to three months to complete. While the construction is being performed, the plant will remain online and continue to produce water for the community
During the construction process, softener vessels will not be in place to soften water from this facility, which will result in harder water being introduced into the system. Water typically leaves this plant at 8 grains of hardness per gallon. During the construction, the water can contain up to 30 grains. The water will continue to be safe to drink and for regular use. At the completion of the project, new softener vessels will be brought into regular use.
At the completion of the project, new softener vessels will be brought into service and the City will resume softening to the previous level that the residents are accustomed to.
While the water system is looped throughout the City, most residents will experience little to no change in their tap water. Residents and businesses in the northeast quadrant of the City, near Water Treatment Plant No. 4, will experience the most significant change. We would encourage residents to not purchase home softening units, as this is a temporary condition.
The City greatly appreciates the patience of the residents while the softening system is temporarily off-line. Residents with questions are asked to contact the Public Works Department at 815-356-2614.
