Water Main Breaks

Please report water leaks or main breaks to City Hall by calling (815) 838-0549, option 3. For emergencies after hours, please call WESCOM at (815) 838-2131.

Discolored Water

Due to pressure fluctuations in the system, you may experience some discolored water. The sediment in the mains causes this to occur. In the early spring, the mains will be flushed to remove the accumulated sediment. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. It will take a few hours for the system to settle. Please contact the Water Department if the problem persists for more than a day.
