As a regular maintenance practice, the Algonquin Utilities Division flushes fire hydrants throughout the village twice a year. This exercise not only ensures proper operation of each hydrant, but improves overall water quality by moving fresh water throughout the distribution system. Weather permitting, the fall 2020 hydrant flushing schedule is as follows during weekdays:

• Sept. 7-18: The entire area east of the Fox River to village limits. Zone #1 and Zone #2

• Sept. 21-25: The area north of Edgewood Drive and Filip Road, east of Hanson Road, west of the Fox River. This area includes the Arrowhead subdivision, Main Street, and all of Harrison Street. Zone #1 and Zone #3

• Sept. 28-Oct. 2: The area south of Filip Road, Edgewood Drive, and County Line Road, west of the Fox River, and east of Randall Road. Zone #13 and Zone #4

• Oct. 5-9: The area east of Randall Road, south of Algonquin Road, west of Hanson Road, and north of Country Line Road. This includes Randall Road. Zone #4 and Zone #5

• Oct. 12-16: The area west of Square Barn Road to Village limits. Zone #4 and Zone #5

• Oct. 19-30: The area east of Square Barn Road, west of Randall Road, and south of Algonquin Road. Zone #5

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.
