Fire Hydrant Flushing 8/29/2022 through 9/9/2022

In conjunction with SLM's temporary change in drinking water disinfection, the City of Mascoutah will be conducting its annual distribution system flushing program. 

The schedule for hydrant flushing is as follows:

Monday, August 29th and Tuesday August 30th
south of Main Street and east of Railway Street

Wednesday August 31st thru Friday September 2nd
south of Main Street and west of Railway Street

Tuesday September 6th and Wednesday September 7th
north of Main Street and west of Railway Street

Thursday September 8th and Friday September 9th
north of Main Street and west of Railway Street

The flushing program consists of flowing water out of selected fire hydrants in order to improve water delivery and increase chlorine residuals in the water. 

Discoloration in the water will be temporary.  While the water is safe to consume, residents may want to run the faucets until the discoloration disappears.  In addition, residents may want to hold off on laundry while the discoloration is present.

Please contact City Hall at (618) 566-2964 with any questions or concerns.
