Spring Hydrant Flushing back  
Date of Record: March 19, 2012

As a regular maintenance practice, the Village of Algonquin Utilities Division flushes all fire hydrants throughout the Village twice a year. This exercise not only ensures proper operation of each hydrant but also helps to move fresh water throughout the distribution system, improving overall water quality. Weather permitting, the spring hydrant flushing schedule is as follows:

April 2 - April 8: The entire area east of Main Street (IL Route 31). This area also includes the Arrowhead Subdivision, Jefferson Street, Railroad Street, and Washington Street.
