The City of Rock Island’s Public Works Department will begin the Fire Hydrant Flushing Program on Monday, September 18, 2017, at 7:00 a.m.  Crews will be flushing hydrants for approximately a four week period.

The purpose of this program is to help maintain water quality standards and the fire protection system.  Citizens may experience brief periods of discolored water or low pressure which is normal during flushing operations.
