A hydrant near Tumbleson Automotive, located south of Kewanee, is scheduled for flushing on Wednesday, June 11, 2025. As a result, residents and businesses on the south side of town may experience temporarily low water pressure or notice rusty water during the procedure. Officials say the change is only temporary, and water quality should return to normal by the end of the day Wednesday. Hydrant flushing is a routine process that helps maintain water quality throughout the area. Those affected are encouraged to avoid washing laundry during this period to prevent discoloration of clothes.
