Hydrant Flushing In Crystal Lake

The Crystal Lake Water Division continues flushing fire hydrants throughout Crystal Lake. The schedule and locations are listed below, and indicated on the Hydrant Flushing Map. Conditions permitting, flushing will continue into May.

Fire hydrant flushing is necessary to clean the City’s water distribution system and to allow the Water Division to perform an inspection of City hydrants. During flushing, water may become temporarily discolored due to material being removed from water mains. The water will continue to be safe to drink, but may stain clothes that are washed during the flushing in your area. Residents should 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.

Hydrants will be flushed in accordance to the following schedule as conditions permit. An updated schedule will be maintained on the City’s website at www.crystallake.org to make residents aware of any changes or delays that may occur.
