Hydrant Flushing
2009 Hydrant Flushing Schedule Map
The City Water Division flushes the water main distribution system annually to remove accumulations of insoluble iron from the inside of water mains. This flushing is conducted annually in April and May. Residents may experience rusty-colored water while the lines are being flushed. When flushing has subsided, run a cold water tap until it runs clear. Although the water is safe, it may stain laundered clothing. If this occurs, keep clothes wet and treat them with a cleaning product for removing the stains. The Public Works Department provides free packets of this laundry treatment to residents at the Public Works office, 1405 S. 7th Ave.; City reception desk, 2 E. Main Street; and Police Department, 2 State Ave. 24/7. Please contact Public Works at (630) 377-4405 or by email at pmarschinke@stcharlesil.gov.
