NORMAL – As sediment and stagnant water build up in hydrant distribution systems, they occasionally need to be flushed out.
The Town of Normal has released a flushing schedule for the town’s fire hydrants. The flushing process will improve the town’s water quality.
The flushing may temporarily cause water to be discolored. Residents are encouraged to avoid washing clothes between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. during flushing.
