Hydrant Inspections and Flushing:

Regular hydrant inspection and flushing is vital in maintaining a good water

supply for both firefighting and drinking water. The Water Department will conduct

Hydrant Flushing throughout the Village 6-5-23 through 6-16-23.

Antenna replacements for water meters continues

The Water Department needs to replace the cellular communication unit within your home. This unit transmits daily water meter reads back to servers providing information needed for our water meter program.

We are required to replace these units due to recent changes in cellular technology. Customers will not be charged for the cost of this work; the unit replacement is being completed by our Village staff.
