Water Distribution

Water distribution encompasses all activities, maintenance, service and repairs associated with the transmission of potable water through the distribution system. This system begins at the Water Filtration Plant and terminates at the individual customer's meter, excluding the portion of the customer's service line on private property.

Repair and maintenance of the water mains and related system components include performing water taps for plumbing contractors, utility locations, service calls, water main construction oversight, leak detection, B-box locations, and responding to inquiries regarding the water distribution system.

Water Main Break Repairs

Unless an unusual circumstance dictates otherwise, the Village repairs ruptures/breaks in the water distribution system with in-house staff. In isolated situations which exceed the capabilities of in-house equipment or staffing, the assistance of a skilled properly equipped underground contractor is retained to ensure the continuous flow of safe drinking water with the minimum amount of service interruption time.

Fire Hydrants

An inspection and flowing of each Village owned fire hydrant is part of the Village's preventive maintenance program. Problems identified are repaired under non-emergency conditions. Timely repairs to fire hydrants are performed to ensure that the units are available and in working order during emergency situations.
