PSA: COLLINSVILLE FIREFIGHTERS HAVE BEGUN THE ANNUAL HYDRANT FLUSHING PROGRAM!

• Flushing will occur between the hours of 8am and 2pm, Monday through Friday, and continue through the summer months.
• PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT YOU MAY EXPERIENCE A DROP IN WATER PRESSURE AS WELL AS DISCOLORATION OF THE WATER DURING THIS PROCESS.
• The discoloration is only temporary and does not indicate a problem with the water. If you experience discolored water, turn on an outside faucet or a COLD inside faucet with a screen -- such as a bathtub or sink faucet -- that can trap any sediment, if any were to get into your water system. Let the water run until clear.
• This program ensures your hydrants and water supply are prepared in the event of an emergency. 

If you have questions, please contact the Fire Department's Executive Assistant at 618-346-5022 ext. 3141.
