WATER DIVISION MAINTENANCE UPDATE
CITY OF ROCKFORD COMPLETES ANNUAL FLUSHING PROGRAM
Rockford, IL - The City of Rockford has completed its annual unidirectional flushing program. Thank you for your cooperation during this season while flushing operations were conducted. The City will continue to address all water quality concerns and spot flush as necessary.
Water quality questions and concerns may be directed to the Water Quality Section at (779) 348-7151.
City of Rockford Fire Flow Testing Program
Rockford, IL . – The City of Rockford will begin its annual fire flow testing program on Tuesday, October 13, 2020. Flow testing occurs Monday through Friday between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
The City of Rockford implements a fire flow testing program annually to ensure that our fire hydrants flow with adequate pressure in the event of a fire.
Customers are advised that they may experience discolored water during flow testing. While not a health hazard, flushing iron (red water) or manganese (black water) may become stirred up within the main which may create staining on porcelain and laundry. This work may result in the disturbance of sediment, possibly containing lead. It is recommended that customers flush their water lines for 1 – 2 minutes once work is completed in their area including removing and cleaning faucet aerator screens to remove sediment.
We anticipate that this program will last for approximately 6 weeks.
You may refer to the attached map to view progress. The boxed area represents the area where the crew is currently concentrating efforts.
Water quality questions and concerns may be directed to the Water Quality Section at 779-348-7151.

The operation is dependent on existing weather conditions and is subject to change accordingly. City-wide pavement striping for lane lines will continue during the months of May thru August.
Citizens are urged to approach striping crews at a reduced speed that is below posted speed limits. Proceed with caution traveling into the lane adjacent to the pavement striper and maintain a safe distance. Changing lanes in close proximity to the pavement striping crew is not recommended. Recent changes in EPA Regulations have mandated that manufacturers remove solvent-based driers from striping paint, thus creating extended drying times. Your cooperation is appreciated.
