HYDRANT FLUSHING BEGINS TODAY. This is just a reminder ... Hydrant flushing is necessary to ensure the water mains are clean and the water is properly chlorinated. This may cause the water to have a rusty iron look to it in some instances. Residents are asked to run water for a short while to clear out any discolored water, especially before doing laundry. If you have any questions please call City Hall at 815-772-7657.
Yard waste pick up will begin on Monday, April 1, 2024 and continue on Mondays until
October when Republic will add another pickup day.
Tonight, Monday night into Tuesday morning (March 11-12), there will be no street lighting or parking lot lighting on for the downtown area. This is due to ComEd replacing a pole at the corner of Market and Genesee Streets.
