Hydrant Flushing to Begin on June 3

The Winnetka Fire Department will begin Fire Hydrant Flushing in Kenilworth on Monday, June 3. Flushing will be performed Monday through Wednesday between 7:00 am and 3:00 pm and should be completed by the end of June. The flushing will begin on the west side of the Village in the northwest corner, move to the southeast, and then to the east side of the Village.

As a result of fire hydrant flushing, residents may experience a yellowing of their water. The water is safe for consumption and bathing per the Winnetka Fire Department and Kenilworth Public Works Department. If you are experiencing yellow water, run cold water for 10-15 minutes in the tap closest to your incoming water line, usually found in the basement.
