Lake in the Hills alerts all to hydrant flushing

The village of Lake in the Hills Public Works Department will be conducting a system wide hydrant flushing program affecting all public water supply mains.

This week, phase one of the flushing program will address all areas of the water system west of Randall Road. All remaining areas east of Randall Road will be flushed during the week of Oct. 22. All flushing is scheduled to be completed by Oct. 26.

The flushing program is designed to improve water quality throughout Lake in the Hills. Notification signs will be placed at the main entrances to each subdivision at least one day prior to flushing and be removed when work in the subdivision is completed. The village recommends that residents refrain from doing laundry during times in which the flushing occurs in their subdivision.
