WATER DEPARTMENT NOTICE

2024
Fire Hydrant Maintenance Program
    
As the City of East Chicago’s commitment to improve and maximize its water distribution system for future generations, the East Chicago Water Department will be implementing its annual Fire Hydrant Maintenance  Program during the months of July 2024 through August 2024 between the hours of 8:00am through 4:00pm, Monday through Friday.  This program will entail inspecting, documenting, and maintaining approximately 600 fire hydrants throughout the entire City.  This program will ensure that we comply with the standards and every hydrant within our City can be expected to perform properly and reliably whenever it may be needed in an emergency.  

Please watch for the orange “hydrant flushing signs” placed in the immediate area that may be affected. If you experience interruption of water service, the service will return upon completion of the specified work.  If you experience discoloration in your water, clear the pipes in your home/business by running all water faucets for a few minutes; or if you experience low water pressure or volume seems low, please check your faucets and washer screens for trapped debris.   Residents may visit our website at www.eastchicago.com or contact the Water Department at 219.391.8469, for additional information relating to this program.
