The village will be flushing out its water mains from Oct. 24 to Oct. 30. The flushing of hydrants may cause some fluctuation of water pressure or discolored water to flow into homes and businesses. Although this water is perfectly safe to drink, it may stain laundry. Village officials are advising residents not to schedule projects that require clear water during the flushing period.
