The St. Charles Fire Department plans to flush water mains at 3755 Illinois Avenue on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. The process is scheduled to start at around 9:30 a.m. and is expected to finish by 10:30 a.m.
Residents in the area may notice rust in their water during or soon after the flushing. According to the department, the water remains safe to use, but people are advised to wait until it clears before doing laundry. If any clothing becomes discolored from rusty water during washing, residents should keep the clothes wet and contact the Public Works Department at 630-377-4405 for a rust-removing solution packet.
Drivers are also advised to be cautious when passing through areas where flushing is taking place, as water may be present on the pavement.
