The St. Charles Fire Department is scheduled to perform hydrant flow testing at 2340 Dean Street on Wednesday, August 20, 2025. The testing will start at about 10:00 a.m. and is expected to conclude by 11:00 a.m.
Residents in the area may notice rust in their water during or shortly after the testing process. The department notes that the water remains safe for use, but advises residents to avoid doing laundry until the water has cleared to prevent possible discoloration of clothing.
If any clothing becomes discolored due to rusty water during laundering, residents are encouraged 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 exercise caution while passing through areas where flushing is taking place, as there may be water present on the pavement.
