Daily Herald report

Algonquin's utilities division is in the midst of its twice-a-year program to flush fire hydrants to ensure each hydrant is operating properly and to improve overall water quality by moving fresh water through the distribution system.

Crews on Friday are finishing a weeklong effort east of the Fox River to the village limits.

Work will continue April 20-24 north of Edgewood Drive and Filip Road, east of Hanson Road and west of the Fox River. From April 27 to May 1, crews will be south of Filip Road, Edgewood Drive, and County Line Road, west of the Fox River, and east of Randall Road. From May 4 through 8 they will be east of Randall Road, south of Algonquin Road, west of Hanson Road, and north of Country Line Road. From May 11 through 15 they will be west of Square Barn Road to the village limits. From May 18 through 29 they will be east of Square Barn Road, west of Randall Road and south of Algonquin Road.

Residents are encouraged to avoid using water while hydrant flushing is taking place as temporary losses of water pressure and water discoloration may be possible.
