The St. Charles Fire Department will conduct hydrant flow testing at 620 E. Main Street on Friday, September 19, 2025. The testing is scheduled to start at approximately 1:00 p.m. and conclude by 2:00 p.m.
Residents in the area may notice rust in their water during or shortly after the procedure. According to the department, "The water is safe; however you may want to refrain from doing laundry until the water is clear." If clothing becomes discolored due to rusty water while being washed, residents are advised to keep the items wet and contact the Public Works Department at 630-377-4405 for a rust-removing solution packet.
Drivers are encouraged to use caution when traveling through areas where flushing is taking place, as there may be water present on the pavement.
