The St. Charles Fire Department has scheduled a hydrant flow test at 675 Sidwell Court on Tuesday, August 26, 2025. The testing will start at around 8:00 a.m. and is expected to conclude by 9:00 a.m.
Residents in the area may notice rust in their water during or soon after the procedure. According to officials, "The water is safe; however you may want to refrain from doing laundry until the water is clear." If any clothing becomes discolored during laundering, residents are instructed to keep the affected items wet and contact the Public Works Department at 630-377-4405 for a rust-removing solution packet.
Drivers are also advised to use caution when traveling through areas where hydrants are being flushed due to possible water accumulation on the pavement.
