UPDATE!! 

**Due to notices going out late, the hydrant flushing will not begin until Monday, October 12, 2026!  Please mark your calendars!**

The City of Island City will be conducting fire hydrant flushing starting Thursday, October 8, 2026 and concluding Friday, October 23, 2026.  This spans a 3-week period, and flushing will only be conducted Mondays thru Fridays, 9am – 4pm.  This is necessary to ensure adequate water volume and pressure for fire suppression and to detect any potential problems in the water system.

This may cause some discoloration and sediment in our service lines.  If you should detect any discoloration or sediment in your water, let an outside faucet or cold-water bathtub faucet run until the discoloration or sediment has cleared.

The City works to complete the hydrant flushing during the months that we do not read meters, so please let the water run, knowing you will not be charged for any of the extra water!

PLEASE CHECK FOR DISCOLORATION PRIOR TO WASHING CLOTHES.

If you have any questions, please call the City of Island City at 541.963.5017
