Fire Hydrant Flow Testing
These tests are conducted every 3 years. The purpose of the testing is to ensure the Fire Department has accurate system flow information available in the event of an emergency.
The flowing procedure will displace sedimentation in the water main pipes. As the flowing is in progress and for a brief period of time following, the water can become cloudy or rust colored with the potential to cause staining. Because of that, we strongly recommend that residents avoid doing laundry, using the dishwasher, showering or engaging in any activities requiring prolonged use of water when flushing is underway in or near your neighborhood.
If you notice any discoloration in your water after flowing is complete in your area, simply run your tap for a few minutes to clear up any remaining mineral deposits from your lines.

Test Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms Monthly
Risk of CO poisoning increases in winter due to the increased use of indoor heating sources and less ventilation.
Protect your household by being aware of sources of carbon monoxide and minimizing exposure, knowing the symptoms of dangerous levels of CO exposure in humans and pets, and by installing and maintaining CO detectors outside of sleeping areas and on all levels of your home or business, and testing your CO and smoke alarms once per month.
Should you have questions, please contact the West Dundee Fire Department at 847-551-3805.
Text to 911 Now Available
Texting during an emergency could be helpful if you are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability, or if a voice call to 911 might otherwise be dangerous or impossible. But if you are able to make a voice call to 911, and if it is safe to do so, you should always make a voice call to 911 to request emergency response from Police, Fire or Emergency Medical Services.
With either a text or voice call, the first information you should provide is your location, in as clear and premise terms as possible. Do not use abbreviations or slang when communicating with 911.
The Dangers of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
CO is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the US. The health effects of CO depend on the concentration and duration of exposure, as well as individual health conditions. Heart patients may experience chest pain at lower levels of exposure. As CO levels increase beyond a tolerable level, symptoms such as headache, fatigue and nausea may become more noticeable. At sustained high concentrations of CO, disorientation, unconsciousness and death are possible.
