City is Flushing Hydrants July 19-27

The City of Freeport is going to be doing their annual water main flushing from Monday, July 19th through Tuesday, July 27th.  The mains will be flushed between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.

The water department encourages you to check your water prior to doing any laundry.  It may be necessary to run the water for several minutes until it clears.  If you have questions, call the water department at 815-233-0111. 

Sometimes you may also notice a decrease in water pressure because your faucet aerators become clogged with tiny debris in this process. You can unscrew your aerators and knock the particles out yourself.  It really is a very simple thing to do.  But if you do have problems, give us a call!
