The Bi-Annual Flushing Of The Water System Has Started For Spring 2010

The Flushing Will Begin On June 1, And Continue Through June 30

The Flushing Will Be System Wide And You May Notice Low Or No Water Pressure For A Day Or Two While We Are In Your Area. If You Notice That The Water Is Discolored, Avoid Washing Clothes For A Day Maybe Two, Run Your Cold Water Tap Until The Water Runs Clear And Then Do Laundry.

The Isolation Valve Repair and Replacement Program Has Started For 2010!

The Valve Work Will Be System Wide And We Will Notify Customers By E-Mail

Although Every Effort Is Being Made To Let You Know When The Water Will Be Off, Sometimes Events And Problems Surface Beyond Our Control, And There Is No Time For Notice. Please Be Patient With Us, As This Is Much Needed Work And Your Water Will Be Off For The Least Amount Of Time Necessary For The Work

!!! Leak Detection Tip !!!

A leak can be anywhere, however, most toilets are the culprit when it comes to large and sustained water loss in households. Pour about 1/2 of a cup of food color into the toilet tank, blue or green work best, though any color will do. Wait 5-15 minutes and if the water in the bowl turns color you have a leak. If you have or suspect a leak, either call a licensed plumber, or if you are handy and the tank valves and gaskets are older, you can replace the flapper in the toilet for less than 5 dollars!

The Village District Office has food color, and is free if you need it. The above test is a great teaching tool for kids.

HELP US CONSERVE WATER!

Over the course of the past few months we have repaired several water leaks from the water shut-off at the street into private properties and small main lines. If you hear water running, hissing or other "unusual" noise near or at your water service please let us know, there is no charge for us to look and listen.

Most water lines enter the basement and will have a shut off valve on them, this is the area to pay particular attention to. Listening while all appliances are off and later in the evening is best.

Also keep an eye out for wet areas outside, in ditch lines and any other area that normally would not have water around it.

Thank You,

William S. Weber, District Manager
