Meeting Agenda

The Public Works Department will be conducting its spring hydrant flushing around the Village now until late April. Flushing Hydrants is essential for maintaining water quality. During this time, residents may notice episodes of decreased water pressure, or possible discoloration in the water as changes in the flow can stir up naturally occurring minerals and sediment that settle within the water mains. Although the water is safe to use during this timeframe, washing your clothes is not advisable until the water runs clear.
