Hydrant valves are opened and closed to control the flow of water and flush the system lines of sediment. Given the scouring velocities involved, flushing operations will likely lead to discolored water during, or immediately following the flushing.  Hydrant flushing may also result in sediment being disturbed within the water mains. Although this sediment is common and expected in any system, we are required by Illinois EPA regulations to notify our customers that this sediment may contain lead even though our water system contains no known lead conduits. The benefits of flushing include removal of rust and sediment, improved chlorine residual, and reduction in taste and odor; all of which can help provide high quality water to our residents. Things you can do as a homeowner or business owner: *If water discoloration is noticed in your residence or building, stop all water use and wait. Several hours may be required to rid the cloudiness from the water mains that serve your home or business. *Turn on outside spigots, cold-water bathtub faucets, flush toilets, and run a cycle through the washing machine to clear the water in your service line. *Do not wash clothes or run a dishwasher during or immediately after flushing takes place. Washing clothes with discolored water can cause laundry stains. *Discolored water posses no threat to your health. You may wish to avoid drinking or cooking with the water.  Questions, contact Chad Gardner, Superintendent of Public Works, 309-385-4765.     Village residents should have received letters from Constellation NewEnergy recently informing them, the Village of Princeville has selected Constellation NewEnergy as the preferred supplier for its Municipal Aggregation Electricity Program.  For more information, visit the Village website, https://princeville.org/electric-aggregation/  Questions, please contact Chad Gardner, Superintendent of Public Works, 309-678-4151.         St. Mary of the Woods  Youth Group   CAR WASH CAR WASH   St. Mary of the Woods Youth Group is hosting a Car Wash!
