The St. Charles Fire Department is scheduled to perform hydrant flow testing at 453 Dunham Road on Thursday, September 18, 2025. The testing will take place from approximately 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
During the procedure, residents may notice rust in their water supply. According to the department, "The water is safe; however you may want to refrain from doing laundry until the water is clear." Residents who experience discoloration of clothes due to rusty water are advised to keep the clothing wet and contact the Public Works Department at 630-377-4405 for a rust-removing solution packet.
Drivers are encouraged to exercise caution when traveling through areas where hydrants are being flushed, as there may be water present on the pavement.
