Water Tower Cleaning & Hydrant Flushing 
Today, Wednesday May 7, public works will be flushing the hydrants on Wrigley, Sunrise, Deborah Anne and Vavra Dr in preparation of the water tower cleaning happening Thursday and Friday this week. This may cause discoloration of water in the area but the water is still safe to drink. It is recommended to run your faucets for several minutes to clear their line.
During the water tower cleaning on Thursday and Friday, the contractor will be draining the tank and keeping pressure at the base of the tower. This may cause discoloration in the water throughout town. We apologize for any inconveniences, this is maintenance task that must be done every 5-7 years.
