Prepare for hydrant flushing

Text Size: AaAaAaAaAa

The Woodstock Water and Sewer Maintenance Division has announced when and where the city’s next hydrant flushing will occur:

• Sept. 8 through Sept. 11 - west of Illinois Route 47.

• Sept. 14 through Sept. 17 - east of Illinois Route 47

During these two weeks, some loss of pressure and discoloration of water might occur. This condition will not present a health hazard. However, because of this discoloration, residents are urged to check their water quality prior to doing laundry and to avoid any laundry when hydrants are being flushed in your area.

Residents with questions regarding the hydrant flushing can contact the Woodstock Department of Public Works at 815-338-6118 or by e-mail at pwdept@woodstockil.gov.
