Signs will be posted in each area before flushing begins.  Flushing will be done between 7:30 AM and 5:00 PM on Tuesdays through Fridays.

Do NOT do laundry on the day hydrants are flushed in your area.  Flushing stirs up rust and you do not want that in your washer. Also, if there is any discoloration in your faucet water, let it run for a few minutes, preferably from the tub spout, and it will clear up. The water is safe to drink.

If you have any questions, please call the Village of Deerfield Water Department at 847-317-7245 (M-F 7:00-3:30 p.m.) or  
e-mail pw@deerfield.il.us.
