If you’ve seen these signs on your street, we will be applying an emulsion treatment to help seal and extend the life of the roadway. We also realize the QR code does not work. Our crew will be making this correction this morning. Also due to weather conditions, this work has been postponed until Wednesday, April 29. For more information, please follow the link below.

Rolling Meadows Public Works will begin the annual hydrant flushing program east of Route 53. Public work crews will start in the north and work their way south. Signs will be posted when crews are working in the area. Residents may notice temporary water discoloration or slight pressure changes. If this occurs, run cold water until it clears and avoid doing laundry during that time. This program is an important part of maintaining water quality and system reliability. Thank you for your patience!If you continue to experience water quality issues after following the steps above, please contact Public Works at 847-963-0500.
