Starting September 1 through October 2, Illinois American Water will conduct its annual flushing of the water distribution system in Streator, Illinois. This routine maintenance removes mineral deposits and sediment from water mains to ensure high-quality, reliable water service and also allows inspection of fire hydrants. Customers may experience temporary low water pressure or discolored water during flushing but no service interruptions are expected. The company advises customers to prepare by storing drinking water and checking water clarity before use. Notifications are sent to customers via a mass notification system, and safety precautions are requested around flushing sites.
