Illinois Youth Center to Perform Hydrant Flow Testing
Posted: 07/22/2010

Beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 29, 2010, the Illinois Youth Center will begin hydrant flow testing at their facility.

This will again cause a rusty water condition in Kewanee. Please plan accordingly and do not plan on doing laundry that day as this rusty condition may last most of the day.

When flushing your water system at home, run only the COLD water as running the hot water will only draw the rust & other sediment into your water heater.

If you have any questions, please call City Hall at 852-2611.
