Water Main Unidirectional Flushing

Type(s)
News Release

Village crews are currently performing unidirectional flushing, which will continue until further notice. 

This process uses high-velocity water flow to scour the pipes, helping to remove accumulated minerals, sediment, and other debris that can build up over time. By clearing out these materials, the flushing helps maintain water quality, improve system efficiency, and ensure the continued reliability of the Village’s water distribution system. 

If you experience any changes to the appearance, smell, or taste of your water, run your taps for at least 5 minutes, or until the water runs clear. We suggest starting with the outdoor tap that's closest to where the Village's water enters your building, and then working your way through the indoor taps within your building. 

For more details on unidirectional flushing, why this work is necessary, and what you can do during this time, please check out our webpage and informational video on water services within the Village.
